DIY homemade slushie

With summer here, things are heating up quickly. Too quickly if you ask me! But in our family hot weather usually = lots of cold shlushies!!

Last year I found this tutorial over at theidearoom.net for frozen lemonade. We tried it and fell in love, only one problem, I don't always have lemonade concentrate in stock. But what I have a TON of is kool-aid! So I gave it a try, and you know what? Its pretty awesome! If you like kool-aid. Good thing I do!!

Here's the how to, in case you want to try!

*Sorry for the horrible pictures, lost the camera and had make do with the phone one!

All you need is a pitcher of kool-aid, an ice cream maker, Ice and rock (ice cream) salt.

• First make up a pitcher of kool-aid. I made two, but I think one would have been plenty. Oh and make sure it's not sugar free. I'm pretty sure you need the sugar to help it freeze right.
• Next add the drink mix to your ice cream maker.

•  And last, add ice and rock salt and turn on! That's it! Give it about 30+ mins and it should be plenty frozen for you to enjoy!

Easy peasy! It's not the same as you might find at the local gas station/ convenience store, but its pretty darn tasty! Hope you try and enjoy! If you do please let me know, I'd love to know what you think!
