Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
- 4 cups cold water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, water, and sugar in a high-powered blender.
- Blend on low speed initially, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the 4 cups of ice cubes to the blender mixture.
- Increase the blender speed and process until the mixture is smooth and has a thick, slushy consistency. Stop blending just before it becomes completely liquid.
- Taste the slush and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter, or a splash more lemon juice if you want more tartness. Blend briefly to incorporate.
- Pour the Iced Blueberry Lemonade Slush immediately into chilled glasses.
- Garnish each glass with a fresh lemon slice or a few fresh blueberries.
Notes
- For a deeper blueberry color, let the frozen blueberries sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending.
- If you do not have a high-powered blender, blend the liquid ingredients and sugar first, then gradually add the ice to prevent straining the motor.
- You can substitute the granulated sugar with simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved and cooled) for easier blending.
