Watermelon Slushy
Ingredients
1 well-ripened watermelon, cubed
Ice
Fresh basil, optional
Sugar or stevia, optional
Directions
Fill your blender with the watermelon cubes. Blend until smooth, then strain the liquid through a strainer to remove the pulp. Pour the strained liquid back into the blender and add ice. Blend again and serve in chilled glasses. You may also add a little fresh basil to the mix.
You may want to add in a little sugar or stevia as well depending on how ripe your melon is. This drink is fantastic for a breakfast pick-me-up as well as a party drink.
1 blender full of fresh watermelon will yield about 1 quart of juice after blended and strained.
