Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh peaches, pitted and chopped ripe and fragrant
  • 1 large lemon juiced and zested
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest freshly grated
  • 1 cup ice cubes or more as needed
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave syrup adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Slice the peaches and place them in the blender jar, ensuring they are evenly distributed for smooth blending.
  2. Roll the lemon on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut it in half and juice it into a small bowl, removing any seeds. Grate the lemon zest and add it to the blender.
  3. Add the fresh lemon juice and zest to the peaches in the blender, along with the honey or syrup for a touch of sweetness.
  4. Pour in the ice cubes, which will help create the slushy texture and keep the drink cold.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and blend everything on high until the mixture is smooth, thickened, and frosty, about 30-45 seconds. Look for a vibrant, slightly chunky texture with no large ice pieces.
  6. Taste the slush and adjust sweetness if needed, blending briefly to incorporate any additional honey or syrup.
  7. Pour the peach lemonade slush into chilled glasses, garnishing with a small slice of lemon or a peach wedge if desired.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for a refreshing summer treat that captures bright citrus and sweet peach flavors in a cold, icy form.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, add a few fresh mint leaves before blending. Use very ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and aroma. Adjust the ice quantity to achieve your preferred consistency—from more for a thicker slush to less for a smoother drink.
