Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced, seedless) Watermelon

- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 leaves (optional, for garnish) Mint leaves
Instructions
1. Prepare the watermelon by removing the rind and cutting it into small, bite-sized cubes. Ensure the watermelon is seedless to avoid texture issues in the slushy.

4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Blend again briefly to combine.
5. Pour the slushy into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of aroma and a touch of elegance, if using.
