Method
 

  1. Place the hulled and halved strawberries into the blender. Add the mint leaves on top for a fresh aroma.
  2. Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and add honey or simple syrup for sweetness. This helps balance out the tartness of the strawberries.
  3. Add the ice cubes to the blender, giving the mixture a hearty dose of cold to create that icy slushie texture.
  4. Secure the lid tightly and blend everything on high for about 30-40 seconds until the mixture is smooth and frosty with tiny ice crystals.
  5. Stop the blender and taste the slushie. Adjust sweetness if needed and blend briefly again to incorporate any additional honey or syrup.
  6. Pour the vibrant pink slushie into glasses, letting the icy texture and colorful appearance shine through.
  7. Garnish with extra mint leaves or a sliced strawberry on the rim for a decorative touch.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, enjoying the cool, refreshing burst of fruity flavor.

Notes

For a less sweet slushie, reduce honey or syrup. Feel free to add a splash of sparkling water for extra fizz.
