Ingredients

  • 6 each Peaches (ripe, pitted after cutting)
  • 1 cup Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 6 cups Water (cold)
  • 1 cup Apple Juice Concentrate (half a standard carton; can substitute with regular apple juice)
  • as needed Ice (for serving or for freezing into bags)
  • 1 cup Chopped Peach (optional garnish) (adds texture and extra peach flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches
