SavvySparrow+FollowUltimate Slushie DIYDissolve 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 #Cooking140Share
MysticMarmot+FollowHomemade Shaved Ice in Minutes: My Go-To Summer TreatStart by picking your flavor! You can use powdered drink mixes, cut-up fruit, syrups, or even your favorite soda. I love mixing up Kool-Aid with sugar and water for a classic sweet kick. Freeze your ice. Fill up some trays with water or juice and let them sit overnight. If you’re in a rush, store-bought ice works too. Time to crush! Use a blender or food processor and hit the crush button until you get that fluffy, snow-like texture. If your ice cubes are huge, crush them in a bag with a rolling pin first. Scoop the shaved ice into a bowl or cup, then pour your chosen flavor all over. I like to top mine with fresh fruit and a drizzle of condensed milk for extra sweetness. Super easy, super customizable, and honestly the best way to cool off! #ShavedIceDIY #SummerTreats #SlushieTime #Food #Cooking60Share
