Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 4 large lemons
  • 2 cups ice cubes preferably crushed or small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped herbs (e.g., basil or mint) for aromatics and flavor
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and sliced thin

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Juicer or citrus squeezer

Method
 

  1. Juice the lemons until you have about one cup of fresh lemon juice. This provides the bright, tangy base for the slushie.
  2. Add the lemon juice, honey or agave syrup, chopped herbs, and sliced ginger into your blender. This creates a fragrant and flavorful mixture.
  3. Pour in the ice cubes into the blender. The ice will give the mixture a frosty, slushy texture as it blends.
  4. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly icy, about 30-45 seconds. The ice should be fully broken down and the texture thick and slushy.
  5. Pause the blender and taste the slushie. Adjust sweetness if needed, adding more honey or syrup and blending briefly to combine.
  6. Pour the finished lemon herb slushie into chilled glasses. Garnish with extra herbs or lemon slices if desired.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a splash of sparkling water or tonic just before serving. Using fresh herbs enhances the aromatic quality of the drink, making it especially refreshing on hot days.
