How To Make Peach Juice

Step 1: Selecting and Preparing Peaches

• Start by selecting ripe peaches. Ripe peaches are soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma. They should be free from blemishes and bruises.
•  Now, wash the peaches thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. After washing, peel the peaches. Peeling is optional, as the skin contains additional fiber and nutrients, but it can also add a slight bitterness to the juice. If you prefer a smoother juice, peeling is recommended.
• To peel, score the skin with a small “x” at the bottom of each peach, then blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Immediately transfer the peaches to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. The skins should easily slip off.
• Once peeled, slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. Cut the peach flesh into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

Step 2: Blending the Peaches

• Place the peach slices into a blender. For a thicker juice, blend the peaches as they are. To make it lighter, add about 1 cup of cold water.
• This step is optional and depends on how concentrated you want your juice.
• Blend the peaches at high speed until you achieve a smooth puree. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender’s power.

Step 3: Sweetened the juice (Optional)

• Taste the blended peach puree. If your peaches are naturally sweet, you may not
• need to add any sweeteners. However, if you find the juice slightly tart, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or sugar. Blend again for a few seconds to incorporate the sweetener.
• For a healthier option, consider using natural sweeteners like stevia or agave syrup.
• Remember that peaches contain natural sugars, so it’s best to add sweeteners and taste as you go gradually.

Step 4: Straining the juice (Optional)

• If you prefer a smooth juice with no pulp, strain the peach puree through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Use a spoon to press the puree through the strainer to extract as much juice as possible.
• After that discard the remaining pulp or save it for use in other recipes, such as smoothies or Baking. If you enjoy a bit of texture in your juice, you can skip this step and serve the juice as is.

Step 5: Serving the peach juice

• Once your peach juice is ready, pour it into serving glasses. For a chilled beverage, add a few ice cubes to each glass. You can also garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of peach for a decorative touch.
• Peach juice is best served fresh, but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to stir or shake it well before serving, as the juice may naturally separate over time.

Tips For Enhancing Peach Juice

• Adding Citrus: For a zesty twist, add a splash of lemon or lime juice to the peach puree before blending. The citrus will enhance the flavor and add an extra dose of vitamin C.
• Mixing Fruits: Combine peaches with other fruits like mangoes, oranges, or strawberries for a tropical fruit punch. This not only enhances the flavor but also increases the nutritional value of your juice.
• Herbs and Spices: Experiment with adding fresh herbs like mint or basil, or spices like cinnamon or ginger, to your peach juice for a unique flavor profile.
