Method

 

1. Slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, and peel if needed. Place the peach slices in the blender.
2. Add the ground cinnamon, fresh lemon juice, grated ginger, and honey to the blender with the peaches.
3. Pour in the cold water and add the ice cubes to help achieve a frosty, slush-like consistency.
4. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and frosty, about 30-60 seconds. You should see a vibrant orange color with tiny flecks of spice.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or syrup. For extra flavor, consider garnishing with fresh mint or a dash of additional cinnamon.

As the sun dips lower and the peaches reach their peak, I find myself blending this again and again. It’s a simple pleasure that warms the soul while cooling the body, a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. Cheers to unexpected delights and summer’s sweet serenade.
