how to store Homemade Peach Slurpees

tips to make Homemade Peach Slurpees
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. You can tell they’re ripe if they smell fragrant and have a slight give when pressed.
- Adjust the sweetness based on your taste. If the peaches are very sweet, you may not need to add much sugar or honey.
- For a more intense fruit flavor, try adding some chopped strawberries or mangoes.
