Ultimate Slushie DIY

Dissolve 1 cup of sugar in 4 cups of water (or just use your favorite drink—juice, soda, even chocolate milk works!). Stir until the sugar disappears. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of flavored extract and 5-10 drops of food coloring. Want it creamy? Mix in a tablespoon or two of cream. Lemon juice and zest make it pop, too. Pour the mix into a shallow dish, cover, and freeze. Every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, stir it up to break the ice and get that perfect slushie texture. Scoop into glasses and enjoy! It’s super easy, and you can totally customize flavors. Works great with a blender or ice cream maker, too—just adjust the water and ice for your preferred thickness. This is the best way to beat the heat (or just treat yourself year-round). #SlushieTime #DIYDrinks #SummerTreats #Food #Cooking
