Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Fresh lemons
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Cold water
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Juice the fresh lemons to extract about 3/4 cup of lemon juice. Remove any seeds but keep the pulp if desired.
Add the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and lemon zest to a blender. Blend on low speed for 10-15 seconds until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Pour the cold water into the blender and mix for another 10 seconds to combine evenly.
Add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and thick like a slushie.
Taste the slushie and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Blend again briefly to mix the added sugar.
Pour the lemon slushie into two glasses and garnish each with a fresh mint leaf for a cooling aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Freezy Cool Lemon Slushie!
