Description
A quick and easy summer slush made with just five simple ingredients, delivering a perfect balance of sweet and tart with an icy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
- Juice of 2 medium lemons (about 1/4 cup or 60 ml fresh lemon juice)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey (or maple syrup/agave as a substitute)
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
- 1 cup (about 120g) ice cubes
Instructions
- Roll lemons on the counter to loosen juice, cut in half and juice, removing seeds to get about 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice.
- Measure 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey, 1 cup (240 ml) cold water, and 1 cup (about 120g) ice cubes.
- In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, lemon juice, honey, and cold water. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until mostly smooth, keeping some strawberry texture.
- Add ice cubes and blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds until icy and slushy. Adjust consistency by adding more water if too thick or more ice if too thin.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a teaspoon of honey if needed, blending briefly. Adjust tartness with a pinch of sugar or more water if desired.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with a lemon wheel or fresh strawberry, and enjoy with a straw.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for best icy texture; fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for brightness. Adjust sweetness gradually. Pulse blender if struggling with ice to avoid overheating. Chill glasses beforehand for extra refreshment. Rinse blender immediately after use to avoid sticky residue.
