Slurpee Ingredients
- 4 ripe fresh peaches, pitted and chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1/2 cup water or peach juice
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Blend the Peaches: In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and water or peach juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any chunks.
- Add Ice: Gradually add the ice cubes to the blender while blending, until you achieve a slushy, icy consistency. Adjust the amount of ice to get your preferred thickness, blending thoroughly after each addition.
- Serve: Pour the peach slush into serving cups and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and refreshing flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust sugar quantity depending on the sweetness of your peaches and personal preference.
- For a more intense peach flavor, use peach juice instead of water.
- Serve immediately to prevent the slush from melting and becoming watery.
- Mint leaves add a fresh aroma and taste but are optional.
