Put the pear chunks in a blender with the water (or sparkling water), the lemon juice and, if you like, the honey.

Blend until smooth and even.

Taste and adjust the sweetness with a little more honey if needed.

Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you want a pulp-free texture.

Pour into glasses filled with ice cubes.

Garnish with a thin slice of pear inside the glass for an elegant look.

Good to know

Chef's tip

Add a few fresh mint leaves 🌱 right into the blender for an even more refreshing touch to your drink! 😍❄️

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Not recommended once prepared (with ice cubes). The liquid mixture (without ice) can be frozen for up to 1 month in an airtight container, then re-blended with fresh ice cubes.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Best consumed right after preparation for optimal texture. The ice cubes melt, diluting the flavor.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Prepare the pear/lemon/honey mixture the day before and keep it in the fridge in an airtight bottle. Add the ice cubes when serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. This is an iced drink.

Variations

Replace the cold water with sparkling water.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a pulp-free texture.
Replace the honey with agave syrup.

Mistakes to avoid

Using pears that aren't ripe enough: choose very ripe ones.
Forgetting to remove the core and seeds before blending.
Sweetening without tasting: taste and adjust with a little more honey if needed.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make an iced pear drink?

Cut 2 ripe pears into chunks, removing the cores and seeds, blend them with 250 ml of cold water, the lemon juice and the honey until smooth, then pour into glasses filled with ice cubes.

Do you need to strain the drink?

It's optional: strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you want a pulp-free texture. Without straining, the drink keeps all the body of the blended pears.

How do you garnish the glass?

Slip a thin slice of pear inside the glass for an elegant look, before serving over ice. The drink is delicate and refreshing.

Which sweetener should you use?

Honey or agave syrup, one teaspoon, softens the drink if you like. Taste after blending and adjust with a little more honey if needed.
