A cooling treat for hot summer days: Just freeze sweet and tangy lemonade into ice cubes, then blitz into a slushie.

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

14 to 16 lemons
1 1/2 cups sugar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Reserve 1 lemon for garnish. Remove wide strips of zest from 2 lemons with a vegetable peeler (do not remove the pith). Juice enough of the lemons to make 2 cups lemon juice.
  • Add the lemon zest strips, sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Discard the zest strips and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Pour the simple syrup into a pitcher and stir in the lemon juice and 2 cups cold water. Divide the mixture among three 12-compartment ice cube trays and freeze until solid, 8 hours and up to overnight. (The ice cubes will not be as solid as ice.)
  • Add the lemonade cubes and 1/2 cup cold water to a blender and blend, stopping the blender and stirring as needed, until the mixture is smooth and pourable. Pour the lemonade slushie into four 8-ounce glasses. Slice 4 thin slices from the reserved lemon and garnish each glass with a lemon slice.

I tweaked this recipe it to make a refreshing drink. I love basil and this recipe has a wonderful basil-infused flavor. Delicious on a warm day or with grilled chicken. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh basil and lemon slices.
