Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
For the drink:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup ice cubes
For garnish (optional):
- Fresh mint leaves
- Extra peach slices
- Blueberries
Instructions
- Start by washing the blueberries and peaches thoroughly under cold water. The freshness of the fruits will be paramount to the vibrant flavors of this drink.
- Place the blueberries and sliced peaches into a blender. Add a cup of cold water to help the blending process and make the juice smoother.
- Blend the mixture until smooth. Take a moment to appreciate the delightful aroma rising from the blender, a hint of what’s to come.
- Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp, resulting in a clear and bright juice.
- Return the strained juice to the blender, add the honey or agave syrup, and blend again briefly. This introduces a delicate sweetness without overpowering the natural fruit flavors.
- Fill four glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the juice over the ice, appreciating the transformation as the icy cold meets the sun-kissed warmth of the peaches and blueberries.
- For a special touch, garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves, extra peach slices, and a few blueberries. The mint adds a touch of fragrance, making each sip an aromatic experience.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If fresh blueberries or peaches are unavailable, frozen ones work perfectly. Just ensure they are thawed before blending.
- Consider serving the juice in chilled glasses for an extra layer of refreshment.
- Ideal for family gatherings, this drink can be made in larger batches. Just adjust the proportions accordingly.
- For a tangy twist, add a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice before serving.
Storage and Substitutions
- Store any remaining juice in the refrigerator, and consume within 2 days for the best taste.
- If honey isn’t preferred, agave syrup is a great alternative, or use maple syrup for a richer sweetness.
- In case peaches are out of season, nectarines or mangoes can be excellent substitutes.
