Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries pre-frozen for best texture
  • 8 leaves fresh basil tightly packed
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for sweetness
  • 1 cup cold water

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen blueberries, fresh basil leaves, ice cubes, honey, and cold water into the blender jar.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, about 30-40 seconds, with a thick, icy texture.
  3. Pause to check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more water and blend again for a few seconds until pourable but still frosty.
  4. Pour the slushie into glasses, revealing a vibrant deep purple color with a slightly frosted surface.
  5. Garnish with a small basil leaf or a few blueberries for presentation.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw, enjoying the cool, fragrant burst of fruit and herb with each sip.

Notes

For a sweeter slushie, adjust honey to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy contrast.
