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, sweetener (honey or sugar), and 1 cup of cold or sparkling water. This forms the flavorful base for the slush.
- Blend with Ice: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If the consistency is too thick, add more water gradually until the desired texture is achieved.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the slush and, if needed, add extra honey, sugar, or lemon juice to balance sweetness and tartness according to your preference. Blend again briefly to incorporate any additions.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the peach lemonade slush into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or peach slices for a fresh, colorful presentation. Serve right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use sparkling water for a fizzy variation or still water for a traditional slush.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste depending on the sweetness of the frozen peaches and your preference.
- Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for a brighter flavor.
- Serve immediately to prevent the slush from melting and losing its texture.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
