What You Need To Make This Recipe
Peaches: I used two large peaches, no need to peel them because we’re going to strain the juice anyway.
Oranges: I used two medium sized oranges, make sure to remove the seed if there are any or it might make the juice bitter.
Sugar: as I said above this can be replaced with any sweetener like, honey, maple syrup, agave etc.
Water: you’ll also need a few cups of water and some ice if you prefer the drink cold.
Pro Tips
- Strain the juice as I did for a super smooth, refreshing juice.
- You could also skip straining if you don’t want to get rid of all the fiber from the oranges and the skin of the peaches.
- Blend with ice cubes to make a peach orange slushy.
- Store the juice in a refrigerator, especially in the summer.
