Easy Homemade Slushies
A sweet, simple and inexpensive frozen drink for summer.
Ingredients
- 4 cups of cold water
- 1 cup of sugar (sugar substitutes do NOT work well in this recipe, it freezes best with sugar)
- 1 1/2 tsp flavor extract such as raspberry (lemon, orange, cotton candy, cherry or vanilla)
- 2-6 drops food coloring as desired - since this is just for appearances (you can completely omit if you prefer)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine water and sugar and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Add in flavor extract and stir well. Follow with a few drops of food coloring to achieve your desired color. Stir well. Pour into your ice cream maker (this recipe was tested in a 1 and 1/2 quart ice cream maker) and turn on and run according to ice cream maker package directions. Let run for approximately 20-30 minutes or until desired consistency is reached. Serve immediately.
