Frozen Mint Lemonade Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (177 ml) lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (23 g) fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup (237 ml) water
- 3 1/2 cups (828 g) ice
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In the glass of a high powered blender, combine the lemon juice, granulated sugar, fresh mint leaves, and water. Pulse the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves and all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a lemonade concentrate with a fresh and bright minty aroma.
- Add Ice: Add the ice cubes to the blender with the concentrate. Continue pulsing or blending until the ice is fully crushed and the mixture transforms into a smooth, frozen slush.
- Serve: Pour the frozen mint lemonade evenly into four glasses. Garnish each glass with lemon slices or sprigs of fresh mint for a visually appealing and refreshing presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender to achieve the smooth, slushy texture.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar depending on your taste.
- Fresh mint leaves are best for an authentic mint flavor, but dried mint can be used in a pinch.
- Serve immediately after blending to prevent the slush from melting.
- For a boozy variation, add a splash of vodka or rum before blending.
