Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup sparkling water (or lemon-lime soda for extra sweetness)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional: whipped cream for topping

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, sparkling water, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

    Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or syrup.

      Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash more sparkling water.

        Once the slush is ready, use a spoon to fill small cups or bowls, creating a fun layered effect if desired.

          Garnish with fresh mint leaves on top and a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.

            Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy the refreshing sparkle of your strawberry slush!
