Do I need a juicer to make this recipe?
Yes, this recipe is designed for use with a juicer to extract fresh juice from the mangoes and lemons. A high-powered blender can work as an alternative, but you'll need to strain the mixture through cheesecloth.
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes. Fresh peaches work well, though frozen peaches chill the drink naturally and create a thicker consistency. If using fresh, chill the lemonade before serving or add ice.
How far in advance can I make this?
Prepare the juice and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Mix with water and sugar when ready to serve for best flavor and freshness.
Can I reduce the sugar in this recipe?
Yes. Start with 1.5 cups sugar and taste before adding more. The sweetness balances the tartness of the lemons, so reduce gradually to your preference.
How many servings does this make?
This recipe yields approximately 6-8 servings depending on glass size and how much water you use to fill.
