Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2 cups ice cubes

Pinch of salt (to enhance flavor)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by slicing off the rind of the watermelon. Cut the flesh into small cubes and place them in your blender. This not only adds convenience but also allows for a smoother blending process.

    Combine Ingredients: In the blender with the watermelon, add the fresh mint leaves, honey or agave syrup, freshly squeezed lime juice, and a pinch of salt. The salt will help to elevate the flavors beautifully.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy. If you enjoy a slightly chunkier slush, blend for a shorter time, pausing to check the consistency.

        Incorporate Ice: Add the ice cubes to the blender. Pulse the mixture until it reaches a slushy consistency. Feel free to adjust the quantity of ice to achieve your desired thickness for the slush.

          Taste & Adjust Flavors: Give your slush a taste test! If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or agave syrup. If you like it zesty, incorporate a bit more lime juice. Blend briefly to combine any additional ingredients.

            Serve Immediately: Pour the refreshing slush into chilled glasses. For a beautiful finish, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint on top, enhancing both aroma and presentation.

              Enjoy Your Creation: Take a moment to admire your work, then sip and relish the delightful blend of sweet watermelon and invigorating mint flavors!
