Description
A refreshing and vibrant drink perfect for summer, combining the sweetness of peaches with the tartness of lemon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 1 cup sugar (or honey for a healthier option)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup water (for simple syrup)
- Lemon slices and peach wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Start by gathering your peachy essentials! Peel and pit the peaches. Squeeze the lemons for fresh juice. Prepare simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a saucepan, bringing it to a boil until sugar dissolves. Cool before use.
- In a blender, add the peeled peaches, fresh lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more water if too thick or more ice if too thin.
- Pour your slushies into tall glasses. Garnish with a slice of lemon, peach wedge, and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately for maximum refreshment.
Notes
For variations, consider adding berries or coconut water, or serve in hollowed-out peaches for a fun presentation.
