How to Make Peach Lemonade Slush
Step 1 Gather your peaches, lemonade concentrate, and water. Chop the peaches into small pieces for easy blending. Frozen peaches work too if fresh ones aren’t ripe. *(Hard-learned tip: Slightly thaw frozen peaches for smoother blending.)*
Step 2 Add everything to the blender—peaches, lemonade, and water. Blend until it’s silky with no chunks. Scrape the sides if needed to mix well. *Fun fact: Over-blending can make it watery, so pulse gently.*
Step 3 Pour the mix into a shallow dish for freezing. A metal pan speeds up the process. Freeze for 4 hours, stirring once halfway. Prefer slushier or firmer? Share below!
Step 4 Scoop the slush into glasses for serving. Garnish with mint for a fresh kick. Serve immediately so it stays frosty. Kids love it with a fun straw!
