Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries and will give your slush a more vibrant color.
- Wash your cranberries thoroughly. Cranberries can be covered in dirt and debris, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before using them.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. If you overcook the cranberries, they will lose their flavor and color.
- Let the cranberry mixture cool completely before adding it to the ice. This will help prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
- Use a blender or food processor to crush the ice. This will give your slush a smoother texture.
- Add your favorite flavorings. You can add sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Serve immediately. Cranberry slush is best served immediately after it is made.
