It’s heating up out here! A few of you know how much I enjoy those icy, slushy drinks when it’s hot out. The other night I was sitting here craving some while watching “The Walking Dead” and thought, “Hey…I wonder if the ice cream maker would freeze drinks enough to make the slush?”. So, began my experiment.  Guess what? It does! How exciting!

Home-made icy,slushy drinks made at home is possible! I’m happy. How?  Just pour as much as you want into the home-made ice cream maker.  I have the basic Cuisinart model. Turn it on. Let it spin around and pour your juice/mixture. Let it run until you see it becoming icy to the consistency you want.  Once you have that,  turn off the machine and enjoy your slushy drink.
