Instructions

Wash and dice peaches. Combine in a saucepan with sugar, water, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft.
Mash peaches, strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to create smooth puree. Allow to cool.
In another saucepan, combine remaining sugar and water; heat until dissolved to make simple syrup. Cool completely.
Juice lemons and strain to remove seeds/pulp. Mix the cooled syrup and lemon juice in a pitcher.
Stir in peach puree and add cold water gradually until desired sweetness is reached.
