Best way to crush ice for drinks?

Question

I've had morning sickness and found iced drinks like Slush Puppies really soothing. There used to be a kids toy called Mr Frosty that was similar.

I don't want anything big, but would like to have something in the kitchen that does the same thing that takes up as little room as possible. I don't want to pay out for a food processor as I already have one of these but never use it! Any Ideas?

Answer 1

crush in a mixie

Answer 2

You say you have a food processor but do you have a blender?  A blender, like an Osterizer, works great for crushing ice - and it does it quickly.

Answer 3

Place ice-cubes in a strong plastic bag and beat the  cubes with a hammer or something, it works. I have an Ice-crusher and it works fantastic. Good luck.:)

Answer 4

Ice in bag + Mallet/Hammer/Meat Tenderising Hammer/sledge Hammer = Crushed ice.

Answer 5

You want an ice shaver (not a crusher), makes you ice like in slush puppies, then you pour neat squash and there's your homemade Slush Puppy.  It costs less than £20 and comes out of hibernation every summer for my daughter and her friends.

Answer 6

put it in a strong bag and throw while holding it
