Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Peach Lemonade Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen peach slices (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 6-8 lemons)
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (for extra sweetness)
- Optional: Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
- Optional: Lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, add the frozen peach slices, freshly squeezed lemon juice, water, and granulated sugar. If you prefer extra sweetness, add honey or agave nectar at this stage.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high until the mixture is completely smooth and has a slushy consistency. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides to ensure all peach chunks are blended evenly.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar, honey, or agave nectar in small increments if needed. Blend again after each addition. If the flavor is too sweet, balance it with an extra splash of lemon juice.
- Check the Consistency: The lemonade should be thick and slushy like a smoothie. If it’s too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until desired consistency is reached. If too thin, add additional frozen peach slices and blend again.
- Prepare Your Glasses: Select your favorite glasses and chill them in the freezer for a few minutes if you want an extra cold presentation.
- Pour and Garnish: Pour the frozen peach lemonade into the chilled glasses, leaving space at the top for garnishes.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Garnish each glass with fresh mint sprigs and lemon slices. Optionally, add a few fresh peach slices for extra flair.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the lemonade right away while it’s still frozen and slushy. If you need to store it, keep it in the freezer for a short time; thaw slightly and stir or blend again before serving to restore texture.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to your preference by varying sugar or honey amounts.
- For a vegan option, use agave nectar instead of honey.
- If a smoother texture is preferred, use a high-powered blender for best results.
- This lemonade is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the slushy consistency.
- Leftovers can be stored in the freezer, but will harden and need to be re-blended before serving.
- Chilling the glasses enhances the refreshing effect of this drink.
