Cool Watermelon Slush (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
10 cups of frozen, seedless watermelon chunks (freeze for a day or more)
02 -
Juice from one big lime
03 -
A quarter cup of loosely packed fresh basil or mint leaves (optional, but worth it)
04 -
1 1/2 cups of clean drinking water
05 -
2 to 4 tablespoons of maple syrup, depending on taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Let the watermelon chunks thaw on the counter for about 5–10 minutes so they're not rock hard.
02 -
Toss the watermelon, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, water, and the basil or mint into your blender. Blend until the watermelon starts breaking down.
03 -
Blend until you've got a thick slushie. Taste it and add more maple syrup if you like it sweeter. Add a splash of water if it's too thick.
04 -
Evenly divide the slushie between four glasses, then serve and drink right away.
