Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 4 leaves fresh basil
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup optional for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the hulled strawberries, fresh basil leaves, crushed ice, and honey in the blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and evenly icy, about 30 seconds. The texture should be thick and slushy.
  3. Pause the blender to check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or juice and blend again briefly.
  4. Taste the slushie and add more honey if you want extra sweetness, then give it one more quick blend.
  5. Pour the chilled strawberry basil slushie into glasses, distributing evenly.
  6. Garnish with a small basil leaf or a fresh strawberry slice for a beautiful presentation.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw or a small spoon for scooping. Enjoy the icy, herbal-infused refreshment!

Notes

For a more intense basil flavor, add an extra leaf or two. Adjust sweetness to taste with honey or agave syrup.
