Homemade Slush Puppies for Frugal Summertime Fun
I am always on the lookout for frugal ideas.
I especially love to come up with frugal summertime fun.
Now that the 4th of July is over what are you going to do with all of the leftover juice, Kool-Aid, soda, and punch?
How about making some homemade slush puppies!
Homemade Slush Puppies
It really doesn’t matter whether or not you have leftover soda or you make up a fresh batch of Kool-Aid, homemade slush puppies are easy to make and loved by practically everyone.
I have even made homemade slush puppies from just water, sugar, and a splash of vanilla before.
Think outside of the box.
You are just looking for something that will flavor ice.
Step One
I like to start my homemade slush puppies first thing in the morning because they do take a few hours to prepare.
I have found that my stainless steel bowl works the best when preparing my homemade slush puppies.
Step One:
I choose the flavor of my choice.
My children and grands have always enjoyed soda, Hawaiian Punch, Kool-Aid, etc.
The choices are really endless.
Sometimes I water it down a little if I need to stretch it.
It just depends on how many people I am trying to serve that day.
Step Two
Step Two:
Pour contents into my stainless steel bowl.
Many times I mix the flavors.
Step Three
Step Three:
Put the bowl into the freezer and leave it there for about an hour.
Step Four
Stir the contents every hour or so to make sure it doesn’t turn into one big ice block.
Step Five
Step Five:
After several hours of freezing and stirring, serve in cups or bowls with spoons.
A Simplier Way
Of course, there is a simpler and faster way to make homemade slush puppies.
You could just freeze the beverage of your choice into ice cube trays then throw them into a blender and serve, but we have a lot of fun doing them manually.
I hope you enjoy making homemade slush puppies.
Leave a comment and let me know which flavors you choose!
