Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (177 ml) lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (23 g) fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup (237 ml) water
- 3 1/2 cups (828 g) ice
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In the glass of a high powered blender, add the lemon juice, granulated sugar, fresh mint leaves, and water. Pulse until everything is well incorporated and the sugar has dissolved completely. This creates your lemonade concentrate with a bright minty aroma.
- Add Ice: Add the ice to the blender. Continue pulsing or blending until all the ice is fully crushed and the mixture becomes a smooth, frozen slush.
- Serve: Pour the frozen mint lemonade evenly into 4 glasses. Garnish each with lemon slices or mint sprigs for an extra refreshing presentation. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and natural freshness.
- Adjust the level of sugar according to your taste preferences or substitute with a natural sweetener.
- To make it extra refreshing, chill the glasses before serving.
- For a slightly stronger mint flavor, add a few more fresh mint leaves during blending.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the slushy texture.
