My notes

Tips

A slush needs a sweetener that softens like sugar, so allulose works best. Where it is not sold, use the same amount of xylitol, which keeps it soft too (keep it away from dogs: xylitol is poisonous to them). Erythritol and stevia blends freeze rock hard.
For mint lemonade, crush 6 mint leaves into the sweetener with the zest, then strain the lemonade into the tubpint.
Use fresh lemons and grate the zest before you squeeze them. Bottled juice tastes flat once it is frozen.

Texture not right?

Too soft or melts fast Icy or crunchy Soupy middle, crumbly edges

Why it works

Allulose lowers the freezing point the way sugar does, so the lemon water freezes into soft crystals that shave into a smooth slush instead of a solid block of ice.
