Nothing beats the taste of fresh, homemade peach juice on a hot summer day. It’s a naturally sweet, juicy drink that captures the essence of ripe peaches in every sip. Whether you’re enjoying it as a morning pick-me-up or as a refreshing afternoon treat, peach juice is an easy and healthy way to enjoy the flavors of summer.
Ingredients:
- 6-8 ripe peaches
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar or honey (optional, depending on the sweetness of the peaches)
- 1 cup cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint or lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly, then peel and remove the pits. Slice them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Blend: Add the peach slices to a blender along with 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Strain (optional): For a smoother juice, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the pulp. If you prefer a more rustic juice with some pulp, you can skip this step.
- Sweeten: Taste the juice. If needed, add a tablespoon or two of sugar or honey, blending until fully incorporated.
- Chill and Serve: Pour the peach juice into glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint or a slice of lemon for added freshness.
Enjoy your homemade peach juice!
