Watermelon Slushie

A delicious way to make a great home-made watermelon slushie. All natural, and healthy too! No added sugar or syrups here.

The secret to a great slushie is to add the ice after everything else has been blended well.

Ice adds a lot of water to your slushie, so you only get one shot at blending it all together really well. Make sure you read the directions below.

Directions

  1. Add everything to your blender except for the ice. The lemon should be peeled, and de-seed it, but if a few seeds make it in, that's ok.
  2. Blend well (45-60 seconds).
  3. Add in the ice. It should be pretty packed full of ice, but shouldn't be overflowing above the liquid. If it's poking up a little, that's nearly perfect. Feel free to add more ice until you get to this point.
  4. Blend with the ice until it stops sounding so rough. You want it to almost sound like the ice is gone. As soon as it starts to sound smooth again, stop blending.
  5. You're done! It should have come out very close to how you imagined, but if it didn't, you now know what to do to get it more in the direction of how you like your slushies for next time.
