Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 cups ice
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Lemon slices optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine ice, water, fresh lemon juice, and sugar in a blender.
  • Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy consistency.
  • Add more ice gradually if a thicker texture is desired, blending until smooth.
  • Taste the slushy and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
  • Pour the slushy into serving glasses and garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Crushed ice blends more evenly than large cubes. For best texture, allow slushies to sit in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
