{Kid-Friendly} Watermelon Slush is non alone super tasty, it's super tardily to make, too. The kids volition dear to assist brand ... as well as relish ... this perfect-for-warm-weather-sipping slush!
I actually dear the concept of using a recipe yous know industrial plant equally a springboard for creating novel recipes as well as versions of something. For me, that's the most fun business office of cooking!
And that's just what happened when creating this kid-friendly Watermelon Slush, based on my Watermelon Rum Slush recipe ... which was previously based on my Watermelon-Moscato Slush recipe. It but snowballed from that master copy slush to create ii to a greater extent than totally tasty versions!
And exercise yous wishing to know why this kid-friendly version came about?
Because when our 7-year-old Little Miss H. saw me making Watermelon Rum Slush as well as was told it was for grown-ups only, at that spot was no way she was going to live left out of the watermelon fun. Nope, wasn't going to happen. See, Little Miss H. absolutely loves to elbow grease novel foods, tasting but well-nigh anything at to the lowest degree 1 time to know as well as sense what's it's like. And when I'm inward the kitchen creating recipes, she's commonly correct at that spot standing on her trivial stool alongside me ... grabbing spoons out of the drawer to sense of savour each component as well as the results at every measuring of the way.
So it'll come upward equally no surprise, I'm sure, that the kickoff words out of her oral fissure when I told her the rum slush was for grown-ups alone were, "But I wishing to elbow grease some!"
So I did what whatever Mom of an adorable, adventurous-eating 7-year-old would exercise ... as well as experimented alongside her to create her real ain kid-friendly, no-alcohol batch.
And Little Miss H. as well as I must say, this kid-friendly version is a winner! Miss H. gives it a definite ii thumbs-up ... as well as would in all probability laissez passer on it well-nigh 10 thumbs-up if she had that many thumbs. Aside from the 1 drinking glass I had to sense of savour it, she finished upward the entire batch on her own, loving every unmarried sip as well as begging for to a greater extent than when the batch was gone.
This kid-friendly version does come upward out a trivial flake sweeter than the rum version, since it doesn't bring that trivial "bite" from the rum. But that extra sweetness industrial plant but perfectly alongside the kids' pallet. And I've got to say, my grown-up pallet is but fine alongside it, too.
Watermelon Slush is non alone super tasty, it's super tardily to make, too. The kids tin definitely help.
Just cube some watermelon, puree it inward a nutrient processor or blender, strain the puree, mix it alongside a modest flake of carbohydrate as well as fresh lemon juice ... as well as and thus freeze. That's it!
Just perfect for warm weather condition sipping ... and Little Miss H. two-thumbs-up approved.
Thank yous for stopping yesteryear . We'd dear to bring yous dorsum soon!
