Step 1

Add diced peaches, raspberries and water to a food processor or blender and process until pureed.

Step 2

Place a sieve over a large mixing bowl and pour peach raspberry puree into the sieve. Use the back of a large spoon to push the puree around so the liquid falls through the sieve and seeds/skin stay inside the sieve.

Step 3

Discard seeds/skin from the sieve and set mixing bowl with liquid in it aside.

Step 4

Add granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan and heat over MED heat until sugar dissolves into the water, stirring occasionally. Boil about 3 minutes until liquid has become syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Add 7 cups water, lemon juice and ice cubes to a large pitcher. Stir to combine. Pour in cooled simple syrup and peach raspberry liquid. Stir to combine again.

Step 6

Store covered in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 7

Serve chilled with garnishes, if desired
