Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus additional for garnish)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 cup water

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 4-6 medium lemons)

2 cups ice cubes

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Blueberry Syrup: In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until the blueberries soften, burst, and the sugar is completely dissolved. Once ready, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool slightly.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, pour in the cooled blueberry syrup alongside 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 cups of ice cubes. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and reaches a slushy consistency. This should take around 1-2 minutes, but may vary depending on your blender's power.

      Taste Test: After blending, taste the slushy mixture to check for flavor balance. If it tastes too tart, feel free to add a little more sugar to achieve your desired sweetness, then blend again briefly to mix.

        Serve: Divide the slush into individual glasses. For an added touch of freshness and visual appeal, garnish each glass with a few extra blueberries and a sprig of fresh mint leaves.

          Enjoy: Grab a straw and indulge in the delightful combination of cool, tangy, and sweet flavors of your homemade blueberry lemonade slush! Perfect for a sunny day!
