Description
Make this simple, refreshing slush by blending fresh lemonade with frozen blueberries and ice for a perfect summer drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 3 cups ice cubes
- Extra water, if needed for blending
Instructions
- Make the simple syrup: Combine sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, frozen blueberries, and ice cubes.
- Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture reaches a thick, slushy consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary. Add a splash of cold water if the mixture is too thick to blend.
- Serve immediately: Pour the slush into glasses and serve right away for the best texture.
Notes
- For a more intense lemon flavor, use slightly less water when making the simple syrup.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase the sugar in the simple syrup to 1.25 cups.
- You can freeze the simple syrup and lemon juice mixture in ice cube trays ahead of time for an even colder, thicker slush.
