Equipment
- Tamper
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Ice
- 2 Cups Fresh Strawberries sliced
- 1 Cup Water
- ½ Cup White Granulated Sugar
- Whole Strawberries optional garnish
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the blender (except garnish) and blend for 1 minute or until no more chunks appear in the mixture.
- You will need to help it along during the blending or it will want to freeze up. I use a tamper and hold it through the hole in the lid of the blender and stir it really well while it’s blending. You’ll get the hang of it.
- Pour into glasses, top with a strawberry, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
• Make these when you’re ready to serve right away. They do not do well being kept ahead of time. I do not suggest refrigerating or freezing.
• Fresh strawberries are the absolute best for this recipe. However, if fresh just isn’t possible, frozen is fine as well. You have to reduce the ice if they’re not thawed beforehand.
• Really get in there when using the tamper. Don’t be shy about it. If you have a really nice blender that’s super powerful, you may not need to worry about this step.
• If you like it sweeter, add another ¼ cup sugar. However, when it’s sweeter, you can’t taste the strawberries as well.
• If you want it a bit more tart and less sweet, reduce the sugar by half OR add some more strawberries.
