Easy Frozen Lemonade Drink
Description
The Easy Frozen Lemonade Drink starts by zesting one lemon and peeling two lemons, removing seeds to avoid bitterness. The lemon pieces, zest, granulated sugar, ice cubes, and cold water are combined in a blender and pulsed to desired consistency. Blending longer produces a smoother, uniform slush, while shorter blending leaves more ice fragments for a chunkier texture.
This straightforward method yields a bright and tangy drink with a touch of sweetness from sugar and the natural tartness of fresh lemons enhanced by the zest. The icy texture refreshes and hydrates, making it suitable as a beverage on hot days or for casual entertaining.
Ingredients
- 2 lemons medium size
- lemon zest of 1
- 1/3-1/2 cup granulated sugar to taste
- 3 cups ice cubes
- 1 1/2 cups water cold
Instructions
- Zest a lemon and set aside the zest. Then peel the lemons and remove any seeds. Discard peels and seeds.
- Add the lemons, zest, sugar, ice and water to a blender and pulse until it is blended to the consistency you'd like.
- Blend longer for a smoother frozen drink, and blend less for a icier drink.
