Instructions
- Wash, trim and prepare the watermelon; remove all pits, inedible skins and hard seeds.
- Combine watermelon, fresh mint, chilled simple syrup and lemon juice in a high-speed blender.
- Add ice cubes; pulse 5 times and then blend in short bursts just until evenly slushy, not watery.
- Taste a small spoonful; adjust tartness or sweetness with small measured additions only after checking consistency.
- Divide between two freezer-chilled glasses; serve immediately with a wide straw or spoon.
Tips
- Use frozen or well-chilled fruit; warm fruit melts the ice and dilutes flavor.
- Serve immediately: slush separates and loses texture in storage.
- Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
- Good with cookies, cakes, and pastries.
