Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh limes
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the limes thoroughly and roll them on a flat surface with your palm to release their juices.
Step 2
Cut the limes in half and juice them into a small bowl, ensuring you remove any seeds. You should have approximately half a cup of lime juice.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the lime juice, granulated sugar, cold water, ice cubes, and honey.
Step 4
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy in texture. If the slushie is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if necessary. Blend again briefly to combine.
Step 6
Pour the slushie into two tall glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing springtime treat!
