Lemonade "Peach-Basil"

The hot time has come - the long-awaited summer! We quench our thirst with water, fruit drinks, and lemonade. I suggest making homemade lemonade with tender peach and tart basil!

Ingredients

• peaches 3 pcs.
• sugar 160 g
• lemons 1 PC.
• water 320 ml
• fresh basil 3 branches
• sparkling mineral water 1200 ml

Directions

1. 1. Wash the peaches well, remove the pits and cut into cubes.
2. 2. Put peaches, sugar, lemon zest, and basil leaves in a saucepan.
3. 3. Fill with clean drinking water and put it on fire. After boiling, reduce and cook until the peaches soften, it took me 7 minutes.
4. 4. Mash the peaches with a potato crusher and boil for another 5-7 minutes.
5. 5. Strain the syrup through a large sieve.
6. 6. Add juice from 1 lemon. Optionally, you can take 2 lemons. Mix and chill.
7. 7. Pour the syrup into a jug or jar and you can store it in the refrigerator for a couple of days and treat yourself to lemonade if you wish. And we will try right away! Pour 2-3 tablespoons of syrup into glasses, top with cold sparkling water, and garnish with basil leaves.
