1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 cup ice cubes

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cubing the chilled seedless watermelon and placing it in a blender. Ensure that the watermelon is sweet and ripe for optimal flavor.

    Add Mint and Flavor: Add the fresh mint leaves and the freshly squeezed lime juice to the blender with the watermelon. The mint and lime will give the slush a refreshing twist.

      Sweeten It Up: Drizzle in the honey or agave syrup. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness level.

        Blend Until Smooth: Add the ice cubes and a pinch of salt into the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy, with no large chunks of ice remaining.

          Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the slush and adjust sweetness or mint if necessary. If it’s too thick, you may add a bit of cold water for the desired consistency.

            Serve: Pour the watermelon mint slush into chilled glasses. Garnish with extra mint leaves for a beautiful presentation.

              Enjoy: Sip your refreshing watermelon mint slush immediately for the best experience!
