We’ve rounded up the best Slushy recipes from the web so you don’t have to
As we get deeper into this summer, and the heat slowly ramps up, it’s important to keep yourself properly hydrated. Now, of course, water is the best way to do this, but why not do it with some style. You can easily pick yourself up some of our terrific Snow Cone Makers and start making yourself some healthy, super-tasty and cooling slushies.
Slushies can span all sorts of fantastic flavour combinations. You can go for the simple, single-fruit approach if you’re feeling unadventurous, or start going crazy and adding in things like tomato juice and cinnamon if you’re a more culinarily audacious.
