On a hot day, nothing tastes better than an ice-cold drink. Stay cool this summer by making yourself a slushie at home with this simple recipe recipe : set of instructions for making food .

What You’ll Need
3 cups of ice cubes
1 cup of seltzer seltzer : soda water; sparkling water or club soda
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of Kool Aid powder
Blender
Cup

Steps
1. Collect and measure your first ingredients ingredients : foods that get mixed to make a dish; parts that go together to make something else . Measure out 1/2 cup of granulated granulated : in the form of grains or particles sugar. Pour 1 cup of seltzer or club soda in a measuring cup. Get 1/2 a teaspoon of any flavor of Kool Aid powder you want. You can keep your measured ingredients ready in measuring cups or small bowls.

2. Prepare your blender. Make sure it is clean and plugged in. Don’t forget the lid! Have an adult help you use the machine.

3. Measure out two cups of ice cubes and put them in the blender. Add the already prepared sugar, seltzer, and Kool Aid powder in too.

4. Put the lid on the blender and make sure it fits snug. Blend the ingredients together for 30 seconds. The setting you use will depend on the type of blender you have, but News-O-Matic used an “Auto Ice Crush” setting.

5. After 30 seconds are up, turn the blender off. Remove the lid. Measure out another cup of ice, and pour it into the blender.

6. Replace the lid, and blend for another 30 seconds.

7. Pour your drink into a cup, and you’re ready to slurp up that slushie! Whatever is left over should be put in the freezer — or it will melt back into a liquid.
