Blueberry Lemonade Slushies image

These super-refreshing fruit slushies are so easy to make and use just four ingredients. A quick homemade lemonade is frozen in ice cube trays for a make-ahead hack. Perfect for kids, but just as appealing to adults-especially spiked with a little vodka or gin!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup sugar
1 bunch mint, leaves and stem torn into chunks (about 4 ounces)
2 lemons, rinds peeled with a vegetable peeler and lemons juiced (about 1/4 cup juice)
1 cup frozen blueberries

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, mint, lemon rinds and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring once or twice, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large liquid measuring cup. Stir in the lemon juice (you will have about 1 cup liquid). Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid, 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • Add 1/2 cup water to a blender (see Cook's Note), then add the lemonade ice cubes and the blueberries and blend until smooth. Divide between glasses and serve immediately.
