- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the nectarines thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 2
Cut the nectarines in half, remove the pits, and chop them into smaller chunks. No need to peel, as the skin adds flavor and color.

Add the nectarine chunks, ice cubes, orange juice, lemon juice, honey (or sugar), and water to a blender.
Step 4
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy in texture. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more water a tablespoon at a time and blend again.
Step 5
Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey or sugar, if desired.
Step 6
Pour the nectarine slush into two serving glasses.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if using, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
