Basic recipe:
1 cup juice (be creative Orange, Strawberry, Cranberry, Apple & Grape are nice)
1 cup water
1 egg white
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup ice (crushed is best)
Blend at high speed. Serves 2.
Note: The egg white is to make the drink frothy, which it is famous for. You can omit the white, or use that powdered egg white (meringue powder) that is sold in the Wilton baking section of most stores.
2 qt. vanilla ice cream
1-1/2 cup cold water
1 12 oz can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 2-liter bottle of 7-Up, chilled
Spoon ice cream by tablespoonfuls into a large punch bowl. Add water and lemonade concentrate; stir just till combined. Slowly pour 7-Up down the side of bowl. Stir gently to mix.
Makes 32 servings.
Watermelon,
Zip-lock Bags
Dull knife
Straws
Give each child a slice of melon. Melon should be cut with a dull knife or side of fork into small cubes. Remove the seeds, and place the melon chunks into the bag. Place a straw into the corner of the bag, and close the zipper around the straw. The child then squishes the melon, making juice. Drink!
Afterwards, the pulpy leftover can be eaten with a spoon.
Have a juice taste test, using old favorites (like apple or grape) and some new ones (like cranberry or grapefruit). Then have your child experiment by mixing different combinations, until they discover their perfect punch combination. Write the recipe on a recipe card with the child's name on it and make a special batch for their birthday.
