2. Ingredients for Peach Slurpees

• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for a Perfect Peach Slurpee

Preparation of the Peaches

Begin by peeling and pitting the ripe peaches. To make this easier, you can blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to ice water to slip off the skins smoothly.

Blending the Ingredients

Put the peaches, crushed ice, and your choice of water or soda into a high-speed blender. Add honey or agave if you like it sweeter. Blend until you get a smooth, slushy consistency. If you’re looking for a more intense peach flavor, throw in a few extra peach slices.

Final Touches

Pour the mixture into glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and enjoy immediately for the best icy refreshment. For an added twist, experiment with flavorings like a splash of vanilla or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

4. Storage Tips for Your Peach Slurpees

If you have leftovers or want to prepare in advance, store the slush in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving again, give them a brief blend in your Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker here to restore their smooth, slushy texture.

5. Serving Suggestions and Variations

• Serve in tall glasses garnished with extra peach slices or a sprig of mint.
• For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or rum.
• Try layering with coconut milk or yogurt for a creamy peach slurpee alternative.
• Pair your peach slurpees with light snacks like street corn chicken rice bowls or a cool cucumber salad to complete your summer refreshment menu.

The entire process, from peeling peaches to blending, takes about 10-15 minutes, making it a quick summer treat.
