Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe peaches, pitted and chopped about 2 large peaches
  • 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup optional, for sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice adds brightness
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (mint or basil) optional, for fresh flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Place the chopped peaches into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed for a smooth purée.
  2. Pour in the fresh orange juice and add honey or agave syrup, then blend until the mixture is completely smooth and fragrant, about 30-40 seconds.
  3. Add the lemon juice and chopped herbs to the blender for a bright, herbaceous note, then pulse briefly to incorporate.
  4. Next, add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is thick, creamy, and frosty—the texture should resemble a smooth, icy beverage.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if you prefer it thicker, add a few more ice cubes and blend again briefly.
  6. Pour the vibrant slushie into chilled glasses, garnishing with additional herbs if desired for a fresh presentation.

Notes

This slushie is best enjoyed immediately while icy and refreshing. Adjust the sweetness and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
