Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Blender, measuring cups, serving glasses

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved (or frozen strawberries)
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 4-6 lemons
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust based on sweetness preference
  • 2 cups ice
  • 1 cup water or lemonade for extra flavor
  • Fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Instructions
  • Prepare the Strawberries: If using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly, remove the hulls, and slice them in half. If using frozen strawberries, there's no need to thaw them.
  • Juice the Lemons: Squeeze the lemons to extract 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
  • Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, ice, and water. Blend on high until smooth and frothy. Depending on your blender's strength, this should take about 30 seconds to a minute.
  • Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture. If it’s too tart, add more sugar to your liking. For a more vibrant flavor, you can also add a splash of lemonade instead of plain water.
  • Serve Immediately: Pour the frozen strawberry lemonade into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
  • Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best slushy consistency.
  • Variations
  • Add Other Fruits: Mix in other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry flavor.
  • Make it Sparkling: Replace the water with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for a fizzy twist.
  • Alcoholic Version: For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or rum to each glass for a refreshing cocktail.
