When summer hits and the sun blazes fierce, I crave something that cools my palms and awakens my senses. Instead of reaching for a commercial icy beverage, I love to blend up a batch of this fresh strawberry slushie. It’s a therapy in a glass: vibrant red, bursting with sweet aroma, and whispering of lazy afternoons.
Strawberry Slushie
This strawberry slushie is a chilled beverage made by blending ripe strawberries with ice and sweeteners until smooth. It has a vivid red color, a thick yet icy texture, and a refreshing flavor that is perfect for hot summer days.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Place the sliced strawberries into the blender.
- Add the ice cubes on top of the strawberries.
- Pour in the honey or agave syrup, balancing sweetness.
- Pour in the cold water or fruit juice to help with blending.
- Secure the lid and blend on high until all ingredients are smooth and icy, about 30-45 seconds. You'll hear the blades whirring and see the mixture turn vibrant red and frothy.
- Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be thick, icy, and well combined. If it's too thick, add a little more liquid and blend briefly.
- Pour the slushie into glasses using a pitcher or directly from the blender.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra strawberries or a sprig of mint if desired.
