Make the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and 4 cups of water.
Blend: Blend until smooth.
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container (like a loaf pan). Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid.
Scrape and Blend: Once frozen, use a fork to scrape the frozen mixture into icy shards. Transfer the shards back to the blender and blend until you achieve a slushy consistency. You may need to blend in batches depending on your blender size.
Serve: Pour the slushie into glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired, and serve immediately.

For a sweeter slushie, add more sugar to the simple syrup.
For a less tart slushie, add a bit more water.
You can also add other fruits, like strawberries or raspberries, to the blender for different flavor variations.
If you don’t have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won’t be quite as good.
