Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe peaches peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar adds depth to flavor
  • 8 fresh mint leaves mint optional, for freshness
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup, for sweetness
  • 1 cup cold water

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Peeler

Method
 

  1. Peel the peaches using a peeler, then cut them into smaller chunks to make blending easier and more efficient.
  2. Add the peach chunks, balsamic vinegar, mint leaves, honey, and cold water into your blender.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frosty, about 30-40 seconds. You'll hear a consistent whir and see a vibrant orange-pink hue with specks of green from the mint.
  4. Stop the blender and assess the texture; if it’s too thick, add a splash more cold water and pulse again until evenly blended.
  5. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the icy texture to settle with a slight gloss and inviting aroma of fresh fruit and herbs.
  6. Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired and serve immediately for the best icy, refreshing experience.

Notes

For a more intense herbal flavor, let the mint infuse in the mixture for a few minutes before blending. You can also experiment with adding a splash of balsamic reduction for added richness.
