Creating your own strawberry slushy is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Strawberries: Begin by washing and hulling the strawberries. Slice them for easier blending.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and water or soda.
3. Add Ice: Toss in the ice cubes for that refreshing slushy texture.
4. Blend to Desired Consistency: Blend everything until smooth. If you prefer a thicker slushy, add more ice and blend again.
5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sugar or lemon juice as necessary. Blend again if you add anything.
6. Serve Immediately: Pour the slushy into glasses and enjoy it right away.

For those who like it extra chilled, you can also place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving.
