- 3 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted - 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons) - 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste) - 2 cups ice cubes - 2 cups water - Fresh mint leaves - Lemon slices You can swap fresh peaches for frozen ones. This works well in summer. For lemon juice, use bottled if you don’t have fresh lemons. You can adjust sugar with honey or agave. If you want a sugar-free option, try a sugar substitute. {{ingredient_image_1}} Start by peeling three ripe peaches. Use a knife to cut them in half and remove the pit. After that, slice the peaches into smaller pieces. Place the peach slices directly into your blender. This fresh fruit is key to a great flavor. Next, add one cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the blender. This usually takes about four to six lemons. Pour in half a cup of granulated sugar, but feel free to adjust it to your taste. Then, add two cups of water. Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth. Make sure the sugar dissolves fully. In a separate container, combine two cups of ice cubes with one cup of water. Blend this until it reaches a slushy texture. Now, pour the peach and lemon mixture into the slushy ice mix. Blend gently, just enough to combine. If the mix is too thick, add a little more water. Taste your frozen peach lemonade. Adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar. Blend lightly again to mix. Serve this refreshing drink right away in chilled glasses. Garnish each glass with a mint sprig and a lemon slice. When picking peaches, look for ripe ones. Ripe peaches have a sweet smell and a little give when pressed. They should be golden yellow to reddish. Avoid hard or green peaches, as they won’t taste as good. If you can, buy local peaches. They often taste better and are fresher. Taste your peach lemonade after blending. If it’s too tart, add more sugar. You can also use honey or agave syrup for a different flavor. Remember, you can always add more sugar, but you can’t take it out. Start with half a cup and adjust from there. To get the right slushy texture, blend ice well. Blend the ice with a bit of water first. This helps break it down. If it gets too thick, add a little more water or lemonade mix. Keep blending until it’s smooth but still slushy. Enjoy your refreshing drink! Pro Tips Choose Ripe Peaches: Select peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma for the best flavor and sweetness. Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of your peaches, you may need to adjust the sugar. Start with less and add more to taste.
