What you will need
This recipe uses 4 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 medium ripe peaches pitted and sliced
- 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and sliced
- 8 cups cold filtered water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prep the Peaches and Ginger
Wash and pit the peaches, then slice them into thin wedges leaving the skin on for added flavor and color. Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it into thin coins to maximize surface area for infusion.
Step 2: Assemble the Pitcher
Add the peach slices and ginger coins to a large pitcher. Pour in the fresh lemon juice which will help preserve the peach color and balance the spiciness of the ginger.
Step 3: Infuse and Chill
Add the cold filtered water to the pitcher and stir gently. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, or allow to infuse overnight for a more pronounced ginger-forward flavor.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- fresh peaches → nectarines which have a similar flavor profile and can be used in equal amounts
- fresh ginger root → a quarter teaspoon of ground ginger for a more subtle and less fibrous alternative
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using unripe peaches which lack the natural sweetness and aroma needed to adequately flavor the water
- Cutting ginger pieces too thick which significantly slows the infusion and results in a very mild ginger flavor
