Xanthan Gum Free Vegan Peach Lemonade with Fresh Mint

Summer in a glass doesn't get much better than this — ripe peaches simmered into a silky homemade syrup, bright fresh lemon juice, and muddled mint all coming together in one seriously refreshing pitcher drink. Every ingredient here is clean and straightforward: real fruit, sugar, water, and herbs, with absolutely nothing processed or stabilized hiding in the mix. That makes it a natural fit for anyone avoiding additives like xanthan gum, which can sneak into store-bought flavored syrups, bottled lemonades, and even some cocktail mixers. The peach syrup is the real star — cooking the fruit down and pressing it through a strainer coaxes out every drop of that sweet, floral flavor without any thickeners needed. Muddling the mint directly in the pitcher releases its oils in a way that makes the whole drink smell incredible before you even take a sip. It's easy enough to throw together on a weeknight but impressive enough to serve at a backyard gathering, and the optional lemon slices and mint sprigs make it look like something from a restaurant menu.
