Do you really put the ice and salt in the same bag to make DIY slushies?

Since there was some confusion about this, let me explain. YES, you put the ice and salt in the same bag. NO, you won't be drinking the salt. The combination of ice and salt in that bag is what causes the reaction that turns your juice into a slushie. Once reaches the consistency that you want, you just pour the slush into a cup and discard the ice/salt mixture.

What kind of juice do you need to make slushies?

Anything goes! Orange juice, apple juice, carrot juice or even homemade lemonade. Any liquid will work magically! You need a big ziplock bag with ice and salt and a small ziplock bag for the juice inside. And shake, shake, shake for about 5 minutes. This is the trick for making your own slushies without a blender.

Can you make slushies with other liquids aside from juice?

As mentioned above, any liquid works with this magic slushie hack. We stick with healthier options, like fruit juice, though.

Can you store slushies in the freezer?

For best results, drink your slushie right away. That said, yes, you can store it in the freezer, but you'll want to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before you drink it. Just keep an eye on it and wait for it to get back to a slushy-like consistency.
