Instructions
 

Prepare Limeade: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

    Juice Limes: While the syrup cools, juice your limes until you have 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Make sure to remove any seeds.

      Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled simple syrup, fresh lime juice, remaining 1 cup of water, and fresh mint leaves. Blend until the mint is finely chopped and well incorporated.

        Make Slush: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend on high until the mixture is slushy and smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more ice if needed.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness by adding a bit more sugar if desired, blending again to mix.
