Ingredients
Peach: Peaches are the star of this recipe. Choose peaches that are fully ripe, fragrant, and slightly soft to the touch. The juicier and riper the peaches, the better the taste of your homemade juice. Both yellow and white peaches work beautifully, so go with whatever looks freshest at your market.
Water: Cold water helps adjust the consistency of the peach pulp, turning it into a refreshing drink. It also balances the sweetness and makes the juice lighter and more hydrating.
Sweetener: A touch of sweetener helps to balance the natural tartness of the peaches and enhancing their fruity flavor. You can use plain white sugar, honey, or even maple syrup depending on your taste preference. If your peaches are perfectly ripe and sweet, you may not need any sweetener at all.

This foolproof recipe breaks it all down into simple, easy-to-follow steps so you can go from whole peaches to a chilled, refreshing glass of juice in no time.
Wash the peaches thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, slice each peach in half and remove the pits. Trim away any bruised or discolored spots to ensure only fresh fruit is used.
Cut the peach halves into smaller slices. This makes blending easier and ensures a smoother pulp.
Place the peach slices in a blender. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and thick. The peach pulp has reached a smooth and creamy consistency and is ready to use.
Transfer the pulp to a large bowl or jug. Add sugar and the required amount of cold water. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches your preferred juice consistency.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and mix thoroughly. This adds brightness and balances the sweetness of the peaches.
Pour the peach juice into glasses. Add ice cubes if desired, and serve immediately for a refreshing drink.

Top tips
- Use ripe, sweet peaches for best flavor
- Strain if you want a clear, silky texture
- Add ice only when serving to avoid dilution
FAQ
You can make peach juice with either peeled or unpeeled peaches. Peeled peaches give a smoother, lighter drink, while unpeeled peaches add extra fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients but may affect texture. I have used the peaches with skin in this recipe.
