Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 –5 medium ripe peaches
  • 1 cup cold water adjust based on desired thickness
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sugar or honey optional, depending on sweetness preference
  • Ice cubes optional, for serving
  • 1 –2 teaspoons lemon juice optional, for extra freshness

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Peeler (optional, for peeling peaches)
  • Fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional, for straining)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large bowl or pitcher
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Prepare the peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly. Peel if desired, then remove the pits and cut into smaller pieces.
  2. Blend the peaches: Place the peach pieces in a blender along with water and optional sweetener. Blend until smooth.
  3. Strain the juice (optional): For a clearer juice, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
  4. Add lemon juice: Stir in lemon juice to enhance flavor and freshness, if using.
  5. Serve chilled: Pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes. Garnish with peach slices or fresh mint if desired.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best taste and nutrition.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness: Ripe peaches are naturally sweet, so sugar or honey may not be necessary.
  • Consistency: Add more water for a lighter juice or less water for a thicker, smoothie-like texture.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before serving as natural pulp may settle.
  • Variations: Add ginger, orange juice, or other fruits to customize flavor. Freeze in ice cube trays for a refreshing frozen treat.
  • Tips: Chill peaches before blending for an extra-cool beverage and avoid over-blending if some skin remains to prevent bitterness.
