Ingredients
10 cups seedless watermelon cubes frozen for at least 24 hours
2 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup adjustable sweetener
Juice of 1 large lime adds tang and freshness
1/4 cup fresh mint or basil leaves herbal flavor boost
1 1/2 cups filtered water consistency adjuster
Instructions
1-First, let the frozen watermelon cubes sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to blend. Then, add the watermelon, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, lime juice, mint or basil, and water to a high-speed blender for even mixing. Pulse the blender until the watermelon starts to break up, then blend until a thick slushie consistency forms, which usually takes about 30-45 seconds.
2-Next, taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired, blending briefly to incorporate. If the slushie is too thick, add extra water to reach your preferred consistency, pulsing gently to avoid over-blending.
3-Finally, divide the slushie into 4 glasses, serve immediately, and enjoy the refreshing result.
