This sweet, aromatic fruit drink is made by simmering ripe apricots until tender and blending them into a smooth nectar. Served cold in summer, it is also a popular choice at breakfast.
Place the pitted apricots and water in a pot. Simmer over medium heat until tender.
Blend the cooked apricots with their cooking liquid until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove pieces of skin. Add the sugar and lemon juice, if desired, and stir.
Chill the apricot juice in the refrigerator and serve over plenty of ice.
Caution: There is no need to peel the apricots after removing the pits; the skins will separate during straining after cooking.
