Ingredients
  

1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 5-6 limes)

2 cups cold water

3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 cup fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish

2 cups ice cubes

Lime slices, for garnish

Optional: a splash of club soda for fizz

Instructions
 

Make Mint Infused Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, 1 cup of water, and the fresh mint leaves. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let it steep for an additional 10 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl or jar, discarding the mint leaves, and let it cool.

    Blend Limeade Base: In a blender, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice with the remaining 1 cup of cold water and the cooled mint-infused syrup. Blend well until fully combined.

      Prepare Slushie: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more water to help it blend smoothly.

        Serve: Pour the limeade slushie into chilled glasses. If you prefer a fizzy drink, add a splash of club soda to each glass. Garnish with additional mint leaves and lime slices for an extra touch of freshness.

          Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy the refreshing crispness of your minty limeade slushie!
