Ingredients
  

4 cups watermelon, cubed and frozen

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 cup cold water

1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for extra slushiness)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by slicing fresh watermelon into approximately 1-inch cubes. Arrange the cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the watermelon cubes are completely frozen solid.

    Juice the Lemons: While your watermelon is freezing, juice enough lemons to produce about half a cup of fresh lemon juice. To achieve a smooth consistency, strain the juice through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to eliminate any seeds and pulp.

      Blend the Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey (or agave syrup), and cold water. If you desire an extra slushy texture, feel free to add the optional ice cubes.

        Blend to Perfection: Blend the mixture on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, and the texture is smooth and slushy. You might want to pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure every piece of watermelon is blended evenly.

          Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste your watermelon lemonade slush. If you find it needs additional sweetness, gradually add more honey or agave syrup, blending again until well mixed.

            Serve: Carefully pour the vibrant slushies into chilled glasses. For an elegant touch, garnish each serving with a few fresh mint leaves to enhance both aroma and presentation.

              Enjoy Immediately: Delight in your Chilly Watermelon Lemonade Slushies right away for the best flavor and texture, ensuring a refreshing experience!
