Sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
Water

Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Slice them in half, remove the pits, and chop the flesh into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Juice the Lemons: Roll the lemons on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut them in half and squeeze them to extract the juice. Strain out any seeds.
