Summer refreshing drink

Refreshing summer drink - a simple and delicious indulgence

When summer makes its presence felt, we often think of moments spent with loved ones, the shining sun, and the natural refreshments that help us enjoy the warmth of the season. In this recipe, I will present a delicious drink that not only refreshes but also brings the fresh taste of peaches. With the help of the Heinner blender, you can create a quick and simple drink, perfect for hot summer days.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Total time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Essential ingredients:
- 6 small, ripe, and fragrant peaches
- 150 ml mineral water
- 5 ice cubes
- 2 teaspoons honey (or to taste)
- 5 teaspoons vanilla ice cream

Helpful tip: Choose ripe but firm peaches. They will provide a sweet taste and a creamy texture to the drink. If you prefer, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure they are of high quality.

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the peaches: Start by peeling the peaches. An easy way to do this is to dip them quickly in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them immediately to cold water. The skin will come off easily. After peeling, cut them into small cubes.

2. Blending: Add the peach cubes to the blender, along with the 5 ice cubes, the 150 ml of mineral water, honey, and vanilla ice cream. The honey will not only sweeten the drink but will also add a floral and aromatic note.

3. Blend: Turn on the blender at high speed for 30-60 seconds, until all the ingredients turn into a smooth and creamy mixture. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more mineral water.

4. Serving: Pour the drink into chilled glasses. You can decorate with peach slices on the rim of the glasses or with a drizzle of honey on top for an elegant look.

5. Enjoy: The drink is served immediately to benefit from the freshness of the ingredients. It is perfect for enjoying on the garden terrace or at a party with friends.

Nutritional benefits:
This drink is not only delicious but also healthy. Peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, contributing to healthy digestion. Honey provides a natural sweetener, full of antibacterial properties, while vanilla ice cream adds a creamy touch and a portion of calcium.

Possible variations:
- If you want to experiment with other fruits, try adding a few slices of mango or strawberries for a tropical combination.
- For a more refreshing drink, you can replace mineral water with coconut water.
- If you are looking for a lactose-free option, opt for almond or coconut milk-based vanilla ice cream.
