Sweet and juicy peach juice is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day or add a touch of summer to your meals. This guide will show you how to make your own peach juice from scratch at home.

Ingredients:

• 4-5 ripe peaches (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
• 1/2 cup cold water (to help blend smoothly)
• Ice cubes (optional)

Equipment:

• Blender or food processor
• Pitcher or bowl for mixing
• Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth (optional, for pulp-free juice)
• Glass for serving

Steps to Make Fresh Peach Juice:

1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and peel the peaches, then cut them into chunks. Remove the pits for a smooth juice.
2. Blend: Place the peach chunks in a blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and blend until smooth.
3. Strain (Optional): For pulp-free juice, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher.
4. Sweeten: Taste the juice and add honey or sugar if desired. Stir well to dissolve.
5. Serve: Pour the juice into a glass over ice cubes, if desired. Garnish with peach slices or a sprig of mint for an added touch.

Tips for the Best Peach Juice:

• Choose ripe peaches for the sweetest juice. If peaches are not in season, frozen peaches can be a great alternative.
• Rolling the peaches before cutting can help release more juice when blended.
• For an added twist, try blending in a small piece of ginger or a splash of lemon juice.
• Store leftover juice in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but enjoy it fresh for the best flavor.

Enjoy this delightful peach juice as a refreshing beverage, perfect for warm days or as a tasty treat anytime!
