  19. 19To read the Brix scale, look for the point where the illuminated portion meets the dark portion.
  20. 20To read the Brix scale, look for the point where the illuminated portion meets the dark portion.
  21. 21To read the Brix scale, look for the point where the illuminated portion meets the dark portion.
  22. 22If the Brix reading is between 13% and 15%, your slushie mix is perfect.
  23. 23If the Brix reading is between 13% and 15%, your slushie mix is perfect.
  24. 24If the Brix reading is between 13% and 15%, your slushie mix is perfect.
  25. 25If the Brix reading is below 13%, add more sugar to the mix and try again.
  26. 26If the Brix reading is below 13%, add more sugar to the mix and try again.
  27. 27If the Brix reading is below 13%, add more sugar to the mix and try again.

  29. 29If the Brix reading is above 15%, add more water and try again.
  30. 30If the Brix reading is above 15%, add more water and try again.
  31. 31Clean the prism surface with a damp cloth after use and air dry.
  32. 32Clean the prism surface with a damp cloth after use and air dry.
  33. 33Clean the prism surface with a damp cloth after use and air dry.
  34. 34Mix premade slushie syrup with water, typically at a 1:4 or 1:5 ratio (1 cup syrup to 4 or 5 cups water), following the instructions on the mix.
  35. 35Mix premade slushie syrup with water, typically at a 1:4 or 1:5 ratio (1 cup syrup to 4 or 5 cups water), following the instructions on the mix.
  36. 36Mix premade slushie syrup with water, typically at a 1:4 or 1:5 ratio (1 cup syrup to 4 or 5 cups water), following the instructions on the mix.
  37. 37If adding other ingredients or syrups, replace a part of the premade syrup in the ratio (e.g., 1/2 cup flavoring syrup to 1/2 cup premade syrup).
  38. 38If adding other ingredients or syrups, replace a part of the premade syrup in the ratio (e.g., 1/2 cup flavoring syrup to 1/2 cup premade syrup).
  39. 39If adding other ingredients or syrups, replace a part of the premade syrup in the ratio (e.g., 1/2 cup flavoring syrup to 1/2 cup premade syrup).
  40. 40Test the sugar content with a refractometer before adding the mix to your machine.
  41. 41Test the sugar content with a refractometer before adding the mix to your machine.
  42. 42Test the sugar content with a refractometer before adding the mix to your machine.

Tips

  • The ideal Brix reading for a slushie solution should fall between 13 and 15 degrees.
  • Always check the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended Brix level for your specific slushie machine.
  • Thoroughly check homemade slushie syrups to ensure they freeze correctly and don't damage your machine.
  • Alcohol affects the Brix reading and will cause it to be higher, meaning it will take longer to freeze.
  • Avoid anything with dairy ingredients unless your machine is rated to work with dairy.
