Ingredients
Scale

- 1/4 cup water or lemon juice (for extra tang)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional, depending on sweetness of the strawberries)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them in half and place them in a blender or food processor. - Blend the Slushy:
Add the ice cubes, water (or lemon juice), and honey or sugar to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and icy, with a slushy texture. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a couple of times to ensure everything is well blended. - Taste and Adjust:
Taste the slushy and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or sugar. If you prefer a more tangy flavor, you can add a bit more lemon juice. - Serve:
Pour the strawberry slushy into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness if desired. - Enjoy:
Serve immediately and enjoy your cool, refreshing strawberry slushy!
Notes
- For a creamier slushy, you can add a splash of coconut milk or yogurt to the blender.
- You can make this slushy with frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available.
- If you want to make it a boozy slushy, you can add a splash of rum or vodka to the blender.
