Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cold water
- 3 cups ice cubes
- Lemon slices and mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, cold water, and ice cubes to the jar.
- Blend Mixture: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and takes on a slushy consistency, ensuring all the ice is finely crushed.
- Taste and Adjust: Pause blending and taste the slush. If needed, add more sugar for sweetness or more lemon juice for extra tartness, then blend again briefly to combine.
- Serve: Pour the frozen lemonade slush into glasses immediately. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint sprigs if desired and serve chilled for the best refreshing effect.
Notes
- For a flavored twist, blend in a handful of fresh strawberries, raspberries, or a splash of fruit juice to customize the taste.
- To make it ahead, blend the ingredients and freeze the mixture in an airtight container. Before serving, re-blend or stir to restore the slushy texture.
