Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen peach slices (or fresh peaches, peeled and frozen overnight)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
- 1/2 cup simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups crushed ice
- Peach wedges, lemon slices, and mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh peaches, peel, slice, and freeze them in advance. Juice the lemons and prepare your simple syrup or measure the honey.
- Blend the Base: Add frozen peaches, lemon juice, and sweetener to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and thick.
- Add Ice for Slush Texture: Add crushed ice and blend again until the mixture reaches a light, icy consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Check for sweetness and tartness, adjusting with more honey or lemon juice if needed.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with peach wedges, lemon slices, and mint sprigs for a fresh finish. Enjoy right away for the best texture.
Notes
For a sugar-free version, use stevia or monk fruit sweetener. To make it creamier, blend in a small scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt. Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays and re-blend with a splash of water or lemon juice when ready to serve.
