Summer fruit season is here and what better way to beat the heat than making summer fruit slushies. I created this recipe one summer when I was craving an icy drink from childhood like an Icee or Slushy.

It was hot and I had some mint green tea and blended it with some frozen melon and my Green Tea Melon Ball Slushy was born. I’ve been adding and switching out fruit along the way.

Green Tea Melon Ball Slushy

Equipment: A Blender

Ingredients

1 cup of cubed, frozen watermelon or any melon or fruit of your choice

1 cup of cold unsweetened or sweetened green tea

1/2 cup of cold mint tea or a sprig of fresh mint or a tablespoon of mint infused simple syrup.

Blend until smooth—

Drink and enjoy!

You can swap out or add other summer fruits. To make the perfect slushy consistency the fruit has to be frozen and the tea should be cold.

I personally like peaches, strawberries and I add fresh or simple syrups infused with mint or ginger for a little kick.

Some favorite combos: Ginger Peach, Mango Peach, Lemon Blueberry
