TIPS

• For the best flavor, use fresh fruit that is ripe and in season.
• The best way to pick ripe peaches is to look for ones that are soft to the touch and have a slight give when you press on them.
• If you don’t have fresh peaches on hand, you could also use frozen peaches. However, you will need to thaw them first.
• If you don’t have time to make your own peach puree, you could also use store-bought. Just look for 100% fruit peach puree with no added sugar.
• When it comes to sweetening this drink, I recommend using a natural sweetener like honey, cane sugar, or maple syrup. But feel free to use whatever you have on hand or prefer.

• If you don’t have a blender on hand, you can use a potato masher to crush up the peaches before you strain them.
• Garnish this perfect summer beverage with fresh peach slices.
