Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 cup water

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

2 cups ice cubes

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Blueberry Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the blueberries break down and the sugar dissolves (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, add the cooled blueberry syrup, lemon juice, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until everything is fully incorporated and slushy in texture. Depending on the power of your blender, this might take about 1-2 minutes.

      Taste Test: Check the sweetness and acidity—if it's too tart, add a bit more sugar and blend again.

        Serve: Pour the slush into glasses, and if desired, garnish with extra blueberries and a few mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

          Enjoy: Sip and savor the cool, tangy, sweet goodness of your homemade blueberry lemonade slush!
