When It Snows, Make a Snow Slushie!

By Barbara Evangelista, Former Publisher of Lowell Macaroni KID January 26, 2023

When it snows, there are many ways to enjoy the winter wonderland, and one fun activity is making a snow slushie. Making a snow slushie is a simple and easy way to create a tasty treat that's perfect for a snowy day. To make a snow slushie, you will need freshly fallen snow, a bowl or cup, and your favorite juice. Simply collect a few handfuls of snow and pack them into your cup, then pour your juice concentrate and water over the snow. Mix everything together, and you'll have a delicious, icy treat to enjoy. Making a snow slushie can be a fun activity for kids and adults alike, and it's a great way to make the most of a snowy day. So next time it snows, try making a snow slushie and enjoy the taste of winter!

For one 8-10 oz. slushie, you'll need:

1/4 cup 100% juice concentrate (I used Welch's Strawberry Breeze)

1/2 cup cold water

3-4 cups of fresh, clean snow


Directions:

In a large cup, mix the juice concentrate and cold water.

Add the snow 1/2 cup at a time and stir.  The snow will melt and reduce in size immediately.

After 2 cups or so of snow, the slush will start to thicken. Continue adding snow until you've reached the slushiness you prefer. We like it extra thick, to eat with a spoon, which took about 3 cups of snow for a 10 oz serving.


Enjoy!  Now if I could just figure out a way to have all this fresh snow available for slushies in the middle of summer....
