Ingredients:
4 large lemons (or enough to yield 1 cup of lemon juice)
3 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 cup fresh raspberries
Ice cube trays
OPTIONAL: Fresh mint and/or Vodka
Directions:
1. Zest two lemons
2. Squeeze all four lemons to yield 1 cup of juice.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat water and sugar until the sugar has dissolved and it forms a simple syrup.
4. Remove from heat and add in the lemon zest and juice. Chill in the refrigerator or with an ice bath.
5. When cool, pour into ice cube trays and let freeze completely.
6. When you are ready to make the slush, combine lemon ice cubes and fresh raspberries in a blender. Blend until "slushy" consistency and eat with a spoon!
OPTIONAL: Add some fresh mint leaves to the blender for a fancier, yet delicious taste! ...& if you're entertaining people 21 or older ;)... Add some vodka to the blender as well!
....yumm! (FYI: It is SO much more refreshing than plain old lemonade!
