- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups water
Simply combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water in a pitcher. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. Now you've got the base for your fantastic frozen creation!

Here's where the magic truly begins. Forget the hassle of ice trays and blenders. A slushie machine provides a consistently smooth and perfectly textured frozen treat every time. It also makes the entire process so much fun, especially for kids!
