Betty's Fruit and Lemonade Slushie
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Fruit and Lemonade Slushie. The lemonade is sugar-free (if you desire), and the fruit may be varied to suit your taste.
Ingredients
| For the concentrated lemonade syrup | ||
| Lemon juice | 1/4 Cup (4 tbs) (Cold Realemon used) | |
| Stevia/Sugar | 1/2 Cup (8 tbs) | |
| Cold water | 1/4 Cup (4 tbs) | |
| For the slushie | ||
| Cold water | 2 Cup (32 tbs) (For the lemonade) | |
| Frozen fruit | 2 Cup (32 tbs) (one sliced banana and an equal amount of halved strawberries and an equal amount of blackberries used) |
Directions
GETTING READY
1. Fruits used are to be frozen in pieces for 6 hours or longer.
2. Before making the slushie, take the fruit pieces out of the freezer and line them on a parchment paper for a few minutes.
3. Make concentrated lemonade syrup by combining lemon juice, water, and sugar or sugar substitute (stevia). (You may refrigerate this and use it to make lemonade by just mixing 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls of the concentrate with ice and cold water)
MAKING
For making the Fruit and Lemonade Slushie:
4. Make lemonade by adding the concentrated lemonade syrup to 2 cups of cold water, mix and set aside.
5. Into a blender, put frozen banana slices, frozen strawberry halves, and frozen blackberries.
6. To this, add 1 cup of prepared lemonade, pulse the frozen fruits and lemonade until the mixture is thick and smooth. (If you like it thinner, just blend in more lemonade. You will need to use a spatula to loosen the fruit and lemonade mix a few times during the blending process)
SERVING
7. When the slushie is at the consistency you like, pour it into a large glass, and serve chilled with a slushie straw in it.
