Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and anise seeds.

Once the syrup has cooled, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the anise seeds.
Step 4
In a blender, combine the lemon juice, strained syrup, lemon zest, and ice cubes.
Step 5
Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency.
Step 6
Taste the slush and adjust sweetness by blending in a little more sugar if necessary.
Step 7
Pour the Lemon Anise Slush into glasses and garnish each with a fresh mint leaf.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy!
