Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (mint or basil) roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon citrus juice lemon or lime
  • 1-2 cups ice cubes adjust for desired consistency
  • 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup optional for extra sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the hulled strawberries, chopped herbs, citrus juice, honey, and ice cubes into the blender.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a slightly granular texture that clings to the sides of the blender.
  3. Stop the blender and check the consistency; add more ice if a thicker, more frozen texture is desired.
  4. Give the mixture a quick pulse if you want the herbs to be more evenly distributed or slightly more blended.
  5. Pour the vibrant slushie into glasses, watching the icy, colorful beverage settle into a refreshing mound.
  6. Add a sprig of herbs or a slice of citrus for a decorative and aromatic finishing touch, then serve immediately.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, skip any dairy additions. Adjust sweetness with honey or syrup to taste. Best enjoyed immediately for optimum icy texture.
