Peach Slushie

This peach slushie is a frozen beverage made by blending ripe peaches with ice and a touch of citrus, resulting in a smooth, icy texture that resembles a refreshing, fruit-forward frozen drink. The final appearance is a vibrant, pale orange slush with a slightly thick consistency suitable for a cooling treat.

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 pieces ripe peaches peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to brighten flavor
  • 1-2 cups ice cubes chilled, for blending
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for added depth

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Peeler
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Peel the peaches using a peeler or knife, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Place the peeled peach slices into a blender.
  2. Add fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract to the blender to enhance brightness and flavor complexity.
  3. Pour in the ice cubes, starting with one cup, and blend on high speed. Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a thick, slushy consistency.
  4. Check the texture; if it’s too thick or icy, blend in a little more lemon juice or a splash of water until it’s just right.
  5. Pour the peach slushie into glasses, using a spoon or ladle, and serve immediately for the best icy texture.
  6. Garnish with a small mint sprig or a thin slice of peach for a pretty finishing touch.

Notes

For a sweeter slushie, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup. Use the ripest peaches for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
