Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Fresh lemons
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Cold water
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 2 pieces (optional for garnish) Lemon slices
- 5 leaves (optional for garnish) Mint leaves
Instructions
Juice the 3 fresh lemons using a citrus juicer. You should get approximately 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
In a blender, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, cold water, and ice cubes.
Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is completely crushed and a slushie texture is achieved. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more sugar, blending again to combine.
Pour the lemonade slushie into glasses immediately to prevent melting.
Optionally, garnish with a lemon slice and mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Serve with a straw or spoon and enjoy your homemade lemonade slushie!
