A refreshing and hydrating watermelon slushie that's perfect for hot summer days. This easy-to-make recipe combines fresh watermelon with lime juice and a touch of sweetness for a delightful icy treat.
Equipment
- 1 blender
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Watermelon Cubed Remove Seeds
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice Freshly Squeezed
- 1-2 tbsp Sugar Optional, Adjust to Taste
- 1 Cup Ice Cubes Adjust For Desired Thickness
- Several Fresh Mint Leaves Optional for Garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Watermelon:
- Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds. For a smoother texture, you can also blend the watermelon first and then strain it to remove the pulp if desired.
Blend the Ingredients:
- Place the watermelon cubes in a blender. Add lime juice, sugar (if using), and ice cubes.
Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and has a slushie-like consistency, about 1-2 minutes. Add a little water if needed to help it blend better.
Serve Immediately:
- Pour the watermelon slushie into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
This watermelon slushie is best enjoyed immediately after blending to maintain its icy texture. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar, and for an extra refreshing twist, try adding a few fresh mint leaves to the blender.
