Slushie Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and rinsed
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 to 2 cups crushed ice
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the green tops. Measure out fresh lemon juice, sugar or honey, and cold water so that everything is ready for quick blending.
- Blend the Berries: Place the strawberries into a high-speed blender along with the lemon juice, sugar or honey, and cold water. Blend until smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Ice and Blitz: Add crushed ice to the blender mixture and pulse until the slushie reaches the desired icy, fluffy consistency. Avoid over-blending to maintain perfect texture.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the slushie and add more sugar or lemon juice if you prefer it sweeter or tangier. Blend briefly to mix any additions.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the vibrant Strawberry Lemonade Slushie into tall glasses and enjoy right away for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest, juiciest flavor.
- Do not skip crushed ice to achieve the ideal slushy texture.
- Add sweetener gradually after blending to suit your taste.
- Keep lemon juice and water cold before blending for optimal refreshment.
- Pulse the ice instead of blending continuously to maintain fluffiness.
