A Hinton family tradition from WAAAAAAYYY back is Peach Malt. That's what all the Hinton family calls it, but it's not really a malt. It's a . . . smoothie? milkshake? I don't know, but it's good. It's kind of evolved over the years. When I first joined the family ( that's a long time ago!) it was made with just frozen peaches, sugar and milk blended in the blender. But now Ken adds vanilla ice cream. So I guess it's a smoothie changed to milkshake. Ya, that's what it is. I know others of the Hintons add lemon juice, or bananas, and I don't know what all else. I guess we all have our own version. Ken's family had an orchard with many peach trees. They would always freeze peaches and then make these throughout the year- usually on Sunday evenings. We continued the tradition as we have three peach trees. Many Sunday nights and family home evening nights we have this for a treat. My husband always makes it. I watched him make it, and this is what he did:
Peach Malt
Fill the blender about 1/3-1/2 full of frozen peaches (about two cups)
Add 1/4-1/3 cup sugar
Add several scoops of vanilla ice cream, then fill the blender container with milk. Blend til it's all well blended and smooth. Enjoy!
This sounds so yummy and refreshing! What a great family tradition!
