Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units Lemons
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
2. Roll each lemon firmly on a countertop to release the juice, then cut them in half and juice them. You should get approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
3. In a medium pitcher, combine the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 4 cups of water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.
4. Add 4 cups of ice cubes to a blender. Pour the prepared lemonade mixture over the ice.
5. Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is crushed and the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
6. Pour the lemonade slush into serving glasses immediately. Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf if desired.
7. Serve with a straw or a spoon and enjoy your refreshing Lemonade Slush!
