Ingredients
- 4 fresh ripe peaches
- 2 cups water
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or honey (optional, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Wash peaches thoroughly, slice in half, and remove pits.
- Cut peaches into smaller pieces and place in a blender or juicer.
- Add water to aid blending and adjust the consistency.
- Add sugar, honey, or lemon juice to taste (optional).
- Blend until smooth.
- For a smoother juice, strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- Chill in the refrigerator or serve over ice.
Notes
- No need to peel peaches unless a smoother texture is preferred.
- Use frozen peaches for an extra chilled drink or when fresh ones are out of season.
- Add other fruits like mango or pineapple for a tropical variation.
- For a sparkling version, mix with soda water before serving.
- Shake before serving if stored, as natural separation may occur.
