SUGGESTIONS AND RECIPES
Your Home Slush-Ease™ Machine will give you many
opportunities to experiment and be creative with a variety of
liquids.
Measurements – equivalents
Salt cup OR 4 ounces OR 12 tsp
Warm Water 1 fill cap full OR 4 tsp
When inserting the ice cylinder into the cylinder cage unit,
try laying it on its side and slide it in. The fit is tight and this
may avoid pinching fingers or catching jewelry.
NOTE; Drinks with a high sugar or corn syrup base will crystallize
faster and produce a thicker slush such a fruit punch. Carbonated
drinks will work, but will set up slower and will not be as thick. Diet
sodas and drinks will not work.
We recommend adding pre-chilled liquid to your Slush-
Ease™ Machine; this will hasten the slush making process.
You may find that adding a full 2 liter (64 oz.) liquid drink
does not give you as firm a slush, as using less (1 1/2 – 1
3/4 of the bottle).
