Method
- Spread the berries on a baking sheet and freeze them until solid, about 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Pour the cold milk into a blender, then add the frozen berries along with sugar syrup and vanilla extract.
- Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, about 30-60 seconds, listening for a gentle whirring sound that indicates proper blending.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency; it should be thick, creamy, and icy, with the color vibrant and inviting.
- If the mixture is too thick, splash in a little more milk and pulse briefly to loosen it.
- Pour the slushie into glasses, garnish with fresh berries if desired, and serve immediately for the best icy texture.
Notes
For more flavor, try blending in a few fresh mint leaves or a splash of citrus juice. Adjust sweetness as needed with more sugar syrup or honey.
