The Kitchn: How to make fruit slushies
1 cup ice (plus extra, depending on the type of fruit used)
1/4 cup sparkling water
Extra herbs, spices or other ingredients for flavoring (see note)
Equipment:
Cutting board
Knife
Measuring cup
High-powered blender (or blender strong enough to crush ice)
Wash the fruit and chop it into manageable pieces. Discard any pits. You can leave peels on or remove them, as you prefer. Measure the fruit to make sure you have 1 1/2 to 2 cups total.
Combine the chopped fruit with 1 cup of ice and the sparkling water in a high-powered blender. If you're using any flavoring extras, like mint or lemon juice, add them now.
