Slush Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen peach slices
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup honey or granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 to 1½ cups cold water or sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
Optional Garnish
- Fresh mint leaves
- Peach slices
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen peach slices, fresh lemon juice, honey or sugar, and 1 cup of cold or sparkling water. This step ensures the fruits and sweeteners are well mixed.
- Blend with Ice: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and slushy consistency. Add more water if the slush is too thick or to your preferred texture.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the slush and add more honey or sugar to increase sweetness, or more lemon juice for extra tartness, depending on your preference. Blend briefly to incorporate any additions.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the peach lemonade slush into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or peach slices if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and refreshment.
Notes
- For a fizzier version, use sparkling water instead of still water.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by increasing or decreasing honey or sugar.
- Use ripe peaches to maximize flavor if substituting frozen with fresh.
- Serve immediately as the slush will melt quickly.
- To make it vegan, use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
