Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries best if pre-frozen for a smoother slushie
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar adds tang and depth
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional for extra sweetness
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice brightens the flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen strawberries in the blender, creating a vibrant, icy base.
  2. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, and lemon juice to the blender for a balance of tang and sweetness.
  3. Secure the lid and blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy, with a frosty texture that feels cold to the touch.
  4. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice and blend briefly to loosen it up.
  5. Pour the icy slushie into glasses, watching the vibrant red color swirl naturally.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or garnish with fresh mint if desired for an extra pop of flavor.

Notes

For an extra punch of flavor, try adding a splash of sparkling water just before serving. Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the honey. Ensure strawberries are well-frozen for the best slushy texture.
