Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup cold water or sparkling water for extra fizz
- Ice cubes (about 2 cups)
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing, peeling, and slicing the peaches. Squeeze fresh lemon juice and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, fresh lemon juice, honey, and water. Blend until smooth.
- Add the ice cubes gradually and blend again until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or lemon juice if needed. For a fizzy twist, replace water with sparkling water during blending.
- Pour the slushie into glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve immediately for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- You can substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan-Version.
- Frozen peaches work well and save prep time—just blend directly without peeling or slicing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 days, re-blending as needed.
- Experiment with garnishes like lemon slices, berries, or a sprig of mint for a colorful presentation.
