Equipment
- Measuring jug
- Sharp Knife
- Blender
- Freezer tray or shallow dish
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice about 2-3 lemons
- 2 tbsp honey or to taste
- a pinch salt
- 1 cup water filtered preferred
- 2 cups ice crushed or cubed
Instructions
- Juice the lemons using a sharp knife to cut them in half, then squeeze out the fresh lemon juice into a measuring jug until you have about half a cup.
- Add two tablespoons of honey and a pinch of salt to the lemon juice. Whisk or stir until the honey dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
- Pour the lemon mixture into a shallow freezer tray or dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure quick and uniform freezing.
- Place the tray in the freezer and let it freeze for about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork or spatula to break up ice crystals and keep the mixture slushy.
- Once the mixture is mostly frozen and has a crumbly, icy texture, scoop it into a blender.
- Blend the mixture until it turns into a smooth, icy slush, listening for a gentle whirring sound and watching it become creamy and frosty.
- Pour the slushie into glasses, garnish with a lemon wedge or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately for the best icy texture.
Notes
For an extra flavor twist, add fresh berries or a splash of vodka before blending.
