How to Make My Strawberry Limeade Slushie

Note: Use the same cup measure when measuring the sugar and water. Typically we use the liquid cup measure for liquids and the weight cup measure for things like sugar, however, we want the same ratio, so for this recipe, use the same weight cup measure for measuring both the sugar and the water.

  • Place the sugar, water and lime zest in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for ten minutes, stirring occasionally. The sugar should be fully dissolved. After ten minutes, take the saucepan off the heat and allow the simple syrup to cool for about fifteen minutes.

Notes

This is a slushie that is sweet and tangy. If you prefer less sweetness, you can add only ½ cup water and ½ cup sugar, however, you may need to add more frozen strawberries or add some more lime juice or even water to make up for the difference. Halving the sugar and water amounts will have an impact on the texture/consistency. So, you'll have to experiment and adjust.
