Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups ice cubes

Instructions
- Prepare lemons: Wash the lemons thoroughly and slice them in half to get them ready for juicing.
- Extract lemon juice: Use a juicer to squeeze the lemons and collect 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, ensuring no seeds get into the juice.
- Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh lemon juice, full-fat coconut milk, granulated sugar, and ice cubes. Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth, creamy, and frothy.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the blended lemonade and add more sugar if needed, then blend briefly again to mix.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the whipped frozen lemonade into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Adjust sugar according to your preferred sweetness level or use a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie version.
- For a dairy-free and vegan treat, use full-fat coconut milk as specified.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the frosty texture; the drink will melt and separate if left standing.
- Fresh mint leaves add a lovely aromatic touch but are optional.
- You can add a splash of sparkling water on top for a fizzy twist.
