Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Lemons
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Roll the lemons on a countertop using your palm to loosen the juices. This will make them easier to juice.
Cut the lemons in half and juice them into a bowl or measuring cup using a juicer. Remove the seeds, but leave some pulp if desired for added texture.
Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into a blender.
Add the granulated sugar and water to the blender, and blend on low speed for 10-15 seconds to dissolve the sugar.
Add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy in texture, about 30-60 seconds.
Taste the slushy lemonade and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar and blending briefly.
Pour the slushy lemonade into serving glasses.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a couple of fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for a fun and refreshing experience!
