Instructions
Prep the Strawberries
Hull and halve the fresh strawberries and place them into the blender along with the fresh lemon juice, honey, cold water, and basil leaves before adding the ice.
Blend Until Smooth
Add the crushed ice on top of the fruit and liquid mixture and blend on high speed for about forty-five seconds until the mixture becomes completely smooth and slushy with no visible ice chunks.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the slushie and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter or more lemon juice if you want extra tartness, then pulse briefly to combine any additions.
Pour and Serve Immediately
Pour the slushie into tall chilled glasses, garnish with a fresh basil leaf and a strawberry on the rim, and serve immediately before the ice begins to melt.
