Notes
- Experiment with different peach varieties like white or yellow for unique flavor profiles.
- For a smoother texture, strain the peach puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or fibers.
- Make it sugar-free by substituting granulated sugar with honey, agave nectar, or stevia for a healthier alternative.
- Boost the nutritional value by adding a splash of fresh ginger or turmeric for an immune-boosting twist.
