Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches (about 3-4 peaches, peeled and pitted)

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)

• 1/4 cup honey or sugar (or to taste)

• 2 cups ice cubes

• Lemon slices and fresh mint for garnish (optional)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the peaches: If you’re using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and chop them into chunks. If using frozen peaches, there’s no need to thaw them—just measure them out and they’ll help create a frosty texture in the lemonade.

2. Juice the lemons: Juice the lemons until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain out the seeds, if necessary.

3. Blend the ingredients: In a blender, combine the peaches, lemon juice, honey (or sugar), and water. Add the ice cubes and blend on high speed until smooth and frosty. You can adjust the water and ice to get your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker, slushier drink, add more ice; for a thinner version, add more water.

4. Taste and adjust: Taste the frozen peach lemonade and add more honey or sugar if you want it sweeter. If you prefer a more tart flavor, add more lemon juice to balance the sweetness.

5. Serve: Pour the frozen peach lemonade into glasses and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint, if desired.

6. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, frosty drink!

FAQs

1. Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen?

Yes, you can use canned peaches. Just make sure to drain them well to avoid excess liquid, and use a bit less water in the recipe to maintain the proper consistency.

2. Can I make this lemonade without sugar or honey?

Yes, you can omit the sweetener or use a sugar substitute like stevia, agave syrup, or monk fruit sweetener. Adjust to your taste.

3. Can I make this in advance?

Frozen peach lemonade is best served fresh, but you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Just blend everything together when you’re ready to serve.

4. Can I use lemon juice from a bottle?

While fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor, bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch. However, it may not have the same vibrant taste as fresh lemon juice.

5. Can I use other fruits in place of peaches?

Yes! You can swap peaches for other fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or even pineapple for a tropical twist.

6. How can I make this lemonade less sweet?

If the lemonade is too sweet for your taste, simply reduce the amount of honey or sugar and add more lemon juice for a tangier, less sweet version.

7. Can I use store-bought lemonade?

Yes, you can use store-bought lemonade as a base, but it may be sweeter than fresh lemon juice, so adjust the sweetness accordingly by reducing the amount of sweetener.

8. Can I make this without ice?

Yes, you can substitute ice with more frozen peaches or add less water for a thicker, smoother consistency without ice.

9. Can I make this without a blender?

For a smoother, slushier consistency, a blender is ideal. However, if you don’t have one, you can mash the peaches and stir everything together for a less frosty version.
