Ingredients
10 cups seedless watermelon cubes, frozen for at least 24 hours
2 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference or substitute with another sweetener such as monk fruit sugar or stevia)
Juice of 1 large lime
1/4 cup fresh mint or basil leaves, loosely packed (optional but recommended)
1 1/2 cups filtered water (can substitute with flavored sparkling water for a fizzy version)
Instructions
1-Let the frozen watermelon chunks sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to partially defrost, helping them blend smoothly.
2-Add the watermelon, maple syrup, lime juice, mint or basil, and water to a high-speed blender to combine all the flavors.
3-Pulse until the watermelon starts to break up, then blend until a thick slushie consistency forms for that ideal icy texture.
4-Adjust the maple syrup to taste, adding more if needed, and add extra water if the texture is too thick to get it just right.
5-Divide into 4 glasses and serve immediately to keep the freshness and chill intact.
