Method

Pick the top leafy bits off the strawberries.
Pick the mint leaves, discarding the stalk.
Add the strawberries and mint leaves to a liquidiser along with 100g of ice cubes.
On a chopping board, cut the lemon in half.
Squeeze half the juice into the liquidiser, using your fingers to catch any pips.
Add enough cold water to just cover the strawberries (roughly 350ml), pop the lid on and whiz until smooth.
Fill a large jug halfway up with ice cubes.
Taste the slushie and sweeten with a little sugar, if needed.
Pour into the jug and stir with a wooden spoon.
