  • Question
    Does it have to be 2 hours and thirty minutes, or can it be less?
    Community Answer
    You will need to leave it in the freezer for at least 2 hours so that it can freeze properly. You can, however, check your slushie every 30 minutes, and then take it out when it reaches the consistency you like. It might be after 1 hour and 30 minutes, or it might be after 3 hours.
  • Question
    What can I use in place of food colouring?
    Community Answer
    You can use a juice or soda and that will be as a place of food coloring and flavoring extract. But you don't need coloring, that's just optional.
  • Question
    Can I still make a slushie without the food coloring?
    Community Answer
    The coloring is strictly for appearances. It doesn't have any effect on the taste. So, yes, you can make it without the coloring.
  • Question
    What can I use in place of flavor extract?

  • Question
    What kind of sugar do you use?

    Regular white sugar is best.
  • Question
    Can I use fruit instead of food coloring?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Food coloring just looks tastier, and the fruit might change the consistency of the slushie, but it would work.
  • Question
    Wouldn't the slushie be salty?
    Community Answer
    No, it won't be. If it does seem salty, add sugar to balance.
  • Question
    How do I keep my slushie over night without it freezing or melting?

    Food coloring is optional, it just looks more appealing. Extract is a must, otherwise you just have sugar-flavored ice.
  • Question
    Do I have to put sugar in the mixture if I use juice?

    No, unless you would like it to be very sweet. If you add juice you do not need to add sugar or food coloring.

    Shake a can of soda, (75% pressure, like you can still feel something inside). Then place it inside the freezer for 4-5 hours. Remove it, take off the lid and pour the contents into a glass. Enjoy!

    You don't have to add flavoring if you don't want to. You can use the soda or juice method if that's what you meant.

    Usually it is very cheap. Any type of sugar and juice will work, and unless you get very high-quality items, it should be quite inexpensive.
