Handy Hint(s)

You may wish to use other soft fruits to make the pulp, such as strawberries, blackberries or brambles.

Instead of the juice from the oranges, try pineapple or apple juice.

Make your own fruit ice cubes to go in the drinks.

Finish off your fruit crush with some brightly coloured straws or slices of fruit.

You could pour your fruit crush into lolly moulds and freeze to make ice lollies.
