Welcome to our Jesus-Centered Wellness blog! Today, we have a refreshing and healthy mocktail recipe that's perfect for summer or any time you need a burst of fresh, fruity flavor. This Peachy Lemon Mocktail is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients to keep you feeling your best. Let's get started!

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

• 1 lemon, juiced

• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

• 1 cup sparkling water or club soda

• Ice cubes

• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

• Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions:

1. Start by peeling and slicing the ripe peaches. If you prefer, you can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients. Place the peach slices into a blender.

2. Squeeze the juice from one lemon and add it to the blender with the peaches. The lemon juice will add a zesty kick and balance the sweetness of the peaches.

3. Blend the peaches and lemon juice until smooth. If you like your mocktail a bit sweeter, add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup and blend again.

4. If you prefer a smoother drink, you can strain the peach and lemon mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp. This step is optional and depends on your texture preference.

5. Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour about 1/2 cup of the peach and lemon mixture over the ice, then top off with 1 cup of sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine.

6. Garnish your Peachy Lemon Mocktail with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon. This adds a touch of elegance and an extra hint of freshness.
