Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by washing the pears thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues.
Peel the pears, core them, and cut them into small chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, add the pear chunks, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and well-combined.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture takes on a slushy texture. This may take about 30 seconds, depending on your blender's power.
Taste the pear slush and adjust the sweetness, adding more honey or maple syrup if needed.
Pour the pear slush into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately for the best icy texture. Enjoy!
