How to Make It

Start creating your refreshing slush in just a few easy steps.

1. Add peaches

Place the peeled and pitted peaches into the blender, ensuring they’re evenly spread out.

2. Pour lemon juice

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the peaches, providing a bright, tangy flavor that complements the sweetness.

3. Incorporate ice

Pour in the ice cubes, which will be blended later to create that signature icy slush texture.

4. Blend mixture

Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on a high setting, allowing the mixture to break down into a smooth, icy consistency—about 30-45 seconds.

5. Adjust texture

Stop the blender and check the texture; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or more lemon juice, then blend again until velvety and evenly slushy.

6. Sweeten if desired

Taste the slush and, if desired, add a little more honey or sugar for extra sweetness, then give it a quick blend to incorporate.

7. Serve chilled

Pour the Peach Lemonade Slush into glasses, garnishing with a slice of peach or a lemon wedge if you like.

8. Enjoy immediately

Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the chilled, velvety texture of this refreshing summer treat.
