AVOID MY DISASTER (You’re Welcome)

• FORGOT to chill the milk, resulting in a watery slush—freeze the milk for 30 minutes first.

• OVER-TORCHED the sugar mixture, causing caramel flavor—stir constantly and keep below 350°F.
• FORGOT to blend till smooth? It’ll be grainy—pulse multiple times and scrape down the bowl.

QUICK FIXES THAT SAVE YOUR DAY

• When too icy, add a splash of warm milk and blend again—crystals crackle as they melt.
• SPLASH some vanilla extract if flavor is muted—aroma will brighten immediately.
• PATCH watery slushie with a spoonful of condensed milk—creamy sweetness will reappear.
• SHIELD over-sweetness with a pinch of salt—brings balance back effortlessly.
• When in doubt, freeze the glasses beforehand—frosty rims add a chill sensation.
