5-Minute Slushie Recipe
Description
The recipe employs two bags: the inner sandwich-sized bag filled with juice or soda that is tightly sealed, and an outer quart-sized bag containing ice cubes mixed with ice cream or table salt. Shaking the assembly for about 3-5 minutes causes the juice to freeze partially, turning it into a slushie. The ice and salt lower the temperature around the juice bag below freezing, but the juice’s sugars and salt prevent it from turning into a solid block. The result is a drinkable slush with a cold, granular texture.
This makeshift slushie method is accessible and quick, requiring only common kitchen items. If the slush isn’t forming well, adding more ice and salt improves the freezing process. Serving immediately after shaking ensures the desired texture, and protecting hands from the cold with cloth or gloves helps during shaking.
Ingredients
- 6 cups ice cubes (or enough to fill about half a gallon-sized bag)
- 1-2 tablespoons ice cream salt (Kosher salt or table salt work great too)
- 1 cup juice or soda (not diet)
Instructions
- Place ice cubes and salt in a quart-sized Ziploc bag.
- Place juice in a sandwich-sized Ziploc bag, press out all the air and seal tightly. If it isn't sealed tightly enough, salt will get in and it won't taste good.
- Place the small bag of juice IN the larger bag of ice and seal. The larger bag will be holding the ice, salt, and the baggie of juice. *PLEASE NOTE: You will have two separate bags - a quart bag with ice and salt, and a sandwich bag with juice.
- Shake for about 3-5 minutes or until juice gets slushy. If your hands get too cold, wrap a dish cloth around the bag or use gloves and continue shaking.
- If your slushy isn't getting slushified. Add more ice and salt to the outer bag and keep shaking.
- Pour slush into a cup and serve immediately.
