Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries hulled and sliced if not pre-frozen
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves roughly torn
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice about one lime's worth
  • 1 cup water or sparkling water for blending to desired consistency
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup optional, adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen strawberries, torn basil leaves, lime juice, water, and honey into your blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, with no visible chunks, about 30-45 seconds.
  3. Check the texture — it should be thick, slushy, and scoopable. If it's too thick, add a splash more water and blend briefly.
  4. Taste the slushie and add more honey or lime juice if desired, then give it a quick blend to incorporate.
  5. Pour the chilled strawberry basil lime slushie into glasses, letting the vibrant pink color fill the cups.
  6. Serve immediately with a sprig of basil or a lime wedge for garnish, enjoying the refreshing burst of flavors.
