Watermelon Mint Slushie
Blend up a batch of watermelon mint slushies to keep you cool on a hot summer day! Made with fresh watermelon and mint, these slushies are refreshing, cooling, and the perfect summer treat.
Servings 2 8-ounce drinks
Ingredients
- 16 ounces seedless watermelon cubed
- ¼ cup lime juice the juice of about 2 limes
- 8-10 mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread cubed watermelon into a single layer. Freeze for 2 hours, or until solid.
- In a blender, add lime juice, mint, frozen watermelon, sweetener (optional - add to taste. In-season watermelon may be sweet enough on its own), and half of your water. Blend until smooth, adding additional water as needed to achieve your desired slushy consistency.
Notes
- Yield: about 16 ounces
- Sweetener substitutes: Maple syrup can be substituted with any sweetener you have on hand (granulated sugar, honey, brown sugar) and can be omitted if your watermelon is in-season and very sweet. Out of season watermelon will need the added sweetener.
- Can I freeze leftovers?: Slushies can be frozen for up to 2 hours, but will freeze solid over time due to the high water content.
