Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Fresh peaches
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 6 whole Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and pit the peaches, then chop them into small chunks.
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, honey, freshly grated ginger (from the 1-inch piece), and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the liquid thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Using a blender, puree the peach-ginger mixture until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any solids.
In a large pitcher, combine the strained peach-ginger puree with fresh lemon juice and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the peach fuzz mixture over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
