Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the diced peaches, grated ginger, honey, and water. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the peach-ginger mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
- Serve over ice cubes in glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
Note: Adjust the amount of honey based on the sweetness of your peaches.
For an added twist, try incorporating fresh mint leaves, which pair beautifully with the peach and ginger. If you’re looking for a non-sparkling version, simply replace the sparkling water with iced tea for a refreshing twist.
Make sure to adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less honey. This elixir can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days; however, to maintain the fizz, it’s best served immediately after mixing.
