Peach Limeade Slush | Summer special

Meeting you all after a short vacation with a perfect summer special recipe. Before vacation I almost emptied my refrigerator except for a couple peaches which were waiting for me when i came home after an exciting trip. And should I tell you how badly we needed some home made treats ?




Now you must have understood why I made this drink. Few ingredients and couple of minutes is all you need to enjoy this fancy drink.Made this in bulk and happily enjoyed the special ' me ' time with a good book and a sip , gazing at my budding plants (summer time) every now then. Will try to share a set of pictures of them soon.



A calm and quiet Sunday Morning , after a light breakfast , sipping through the drink , a good book and nature to accompany me , a whole new experience.



Back In India , mom doesn't like fancy drinks or store bought ones. So  lemonade , spiced butter milk and tender coconut water is what we get to enjoy, not to forget some ice creams and kulfi. Even now , carbonated drink and store bough juice is a big no for me. Certain habits you can't change , right and that too if it's good for you?



Coming to this slush , not much additives, all natural and unlimited keeping health in mind is what we all would think for. When such things are there in front of you ,what else would you ever wait for?



Ingredients

Peaches ...................................4 fresh , well ripen
Lime ....................................... 1 big / 2 small
Sugar / Honey ......................... to taste
Salt ........................................ a pinch
pepper powder ...................... a pinch
Dry ginger powder ............... a pinch
Mint leaves ........................... 4 / 5
Water ................................... 1 cup or as needed



Method


  • Peel, seed  and  roughly chop the peaches.
  • Add all the ingredients to the blender jar.
  • Blitz , pour in a wide glass bowl.
  • Try not to add much water , as slush needs to be a bit thicker.
  • Freeze for 2 to 3 hrs ( do not close the bowl)
  • Pour them with the help of a scoop into glasses and enjoy slowly.


Note:


  • You can use store bought lemonade / limeade too , adjust sugar or honey accordingly.
  • Add water slowly to get the exact consistency of a slush.
  • Pepper and dry ginger helps in digestion and also honey, pepper and ginger soothes your throat.
