Ingredients
Scale
2 cups frozen blueberries
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
3 cups cold water
3 cups ice cubes
Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
Combine the frozen blueberries, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and cold water in a high-powered blender.
Blend on low speed initially to break down the frozen fruit, then increase the speed.
Add the ice cubes gradually while blending until the mixture is smooth and has a thick, slushy consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
Taste the slushie and add more sugar or lemon juice if needed to balance the flavor.
Pour the mixture immediately into serving glasses.
Garnish each glass with a fresh lemon slice before serving cold.
Notes
For a thicker slushie, use slightly less water or add a few more ice cubes.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the sugar amount to 1/3 cup.
You can substitute granulated sugar with simple syrup for easier blending.
