Peach Slush Recipe Details
Servings: 2–3 people
Preparation Time: 2–3 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2–3 medium-sized ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 9–10 ice cubes
- ½ cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Wash the peaches thoroughly. Peel the skin (optional, but recommended for a smoother texture) and cut them into small chunks to make blending easier.
Step 2: Blend Everything Together
In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, salt, ice cubes, water, and lemon juice. Blend for about 2 minutes or until the ice is fully crushed and the mixture becomes thick and frosty.
You’re aiming for a texture that’s thicker than juice but smooth enough to sip easily.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Give it a quick taste. Depending on how ripe and sweet your peaches are, you might want to add a little more sugar or a splash more lemon juice for extra brightness. If it’s too thick, add a little more water and blend again briefly.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
Pour the freshly blended peach slush into tall glasses and serve right away before it melts.
