Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Lemons
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Roll the lemons on the countertop with your palm to help release their juices. Then, cut them in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Strain to remove any seeds. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.
In a blender, combine the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water. Blend on medium speed until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 30 seconds.
Add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the slush and adjust for sweetness if needed by adding a teaspoon of sugar at a time, blending briefly to mix.
Pour the lemon slush into serving glasses immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve with a straw or spoon.
