Ingredients
Scale
Creating this slushie is as easy as a gentle summer breeze. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 cups of cubed watermelon, seeds removed
- 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 cup of ice cubes
- A handful of fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
If you prefer a bit of a tang, substitute the honey with a splash of orange juice or even a pinch of salt to enhance the natural sweetness of the watermelon.
Instructions
Follow these steps to create a slushie that will transport you to a sun-drenched veranda overlooking the Mediterranean Sea:
- Place your watermelon cubes on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 2 hours or until solid. This will give your slushie that perfect icy texture.
- Once frozen, add the watermelon cubes, fresh lime juice, honey (if using), and ice cubes into a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, feel free to add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the slushie into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy immediately for the best experience.
As my mother Elena used to say, “The key to a perfect slushie is to blend it until it’s as smooth as the sea on a calm day.”
