  2. Add Ice and Sweetener: Add the ice cubes and honey to the blender and blend again until everything is well combined and slushie texture is achieved.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more honey if needed to reach your preferred level of sweetness.
  4. Serve: Pour the watermelon slushie into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves for added aroma and color.
  5. Enjoy Immediately: Serve the slushie right away to enjoy the refreshing cold texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe watermelon for the sweetest flavor.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on watermelon sweetness or personal preference.
  • Do not freeze leftovers for too long to avoid hardness; reblend before serving if needed.
  • Mint leaves add a nice freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
