Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon flesh, cubed seedless or strained to remove seeds

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to cut the watermelon into small cubes, ensuring removal of seeds for a smoother blend.
  2. Transfer the watermelon cubes to a blender jar, adding 2 cups of ice cubes if a colder, more slushy texture is desired.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended, with no large chunks remaining; this process should take about 30 seconds.
  4. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if the mixture appears too liquid, add a few more ice cubes and blend briefly again for a thicker, more icy texture.
  5. Pour the blended watermelon slushie into glasses, and garnish with a small watermelon wedge or fresh mint leaves if desired, for visual appeal.

Notes

For a smoother texture, strain the blend through a fine sieve before serving. Adjust the amount of ice for preferred thickness.
