"Stay cool all summer long with this Hibiscus Strawberry Slush! Refreshing, hydrating, and fruity, this slush is made with frozen strawberries, sweetened with homemade hibiscus syrup, and livened up with a kick of mint. This simple frosty beverage is made with just 5 ingredients. Helpful tips: Place hibiscus syrup pan over an ice bath to cool faster. If possible, crush the ice in advance. Breaking down the ice prior to blending, the easier it is for the slushie to come out with smooth results. To avoid a watery slush, be sure not to over blend. To make boozy version reduce hibiscus simple syrup to ½ cup and replace the lime juice with ¾ cup your favorite alcoholic beverage."
