cup other sweetener of your choice (Stevia is a great natural - no
calorie alternative that will make this slushy even more figure
friendly.
4 cups ice cubes, or
enough to almost fill the blender

Add the water and lemon juice. Pour in the honey or other
sweetener. If you use honey then lighly oil the measuring cup
before measuring the honey. This will make it all slip out more
easily. Add the ice cubes. Process the mixture at high
speed for 2 full minutes. The ice should be completely chopped
and the mixture will be a lovely golden color. Divide the
mixture between 4 12-ounce glasses. Garnish with a lemon wedge
and a tall straw. Serve immediately.
Lemon-Mint Slushies:
If desired you may add a few mint leaves to the blender while you are
processing. If you are using dry mint then 1/2 teaspoon will be
enough. This is quite invigorating, especially on a hot day.
