- Let it stand for 5 minutes so the foam settles, then skim it off.
- Pour the base into an empty tubpint, up to the max fill line. Put the lid on and freeze on a level shelf for 24 hours.
- Take the lid off, set the tubpint in the outer bowl and lock it into the machine. Run Slushi.
To serve: Serve in chilled glasses with a small watermelon wedge on the rim.
Tips
- Keep the sugar. Like diet drinks, a sweetener-only version freezes rock hard and will not turn slushy.
- Taste the purée first. A pale, watery melon may need 1 tbsp more sugar.
- Too thick to sip? Add 2–4 tbsp cold water and run Re-spin.

Why it works
Watermelon is only about 6% sugar, so a little extra sugar brings it into slush range and stops it freezing into a solid block of ice.
