Can this be used to make apple cider slushies? And how would you do it? Thanks!

Cynthia, in theory the answer is yes but, my machine worked only three times before breaking. I'm not a good person to recommend this product.

Make the same way you would make daiquiri and margarita. add liquor if you would like .

We use ice cubes but you could use a block of ice if you break it up. As long as it fits down the chute the machine will chip it up. I would not use crushed ice because that would make slush.

I have not tried that, but I would think so. I actually did use it on apples for my dehydrator.

I've used it for hot chocolate with milk and spiced cider. Works great! Just thoroughly clean it when you're finished.

Yes. You can use any type of mixer. I make strawberry and pineapple slushies all the time

Hey there! I know there are blenders out there that impressively make "snow" from the ice cubes you put in it, but I have never even tried that with this blender. This blender has a 1200 watt motor and has made the creamiest smoothies from frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, and about 8 oz of liquid base, so simply grating ice to the consistency you are hoping for seems a task this blender would rise to. The NativeJuicer website has recipes and blogs that may be more helpful to you in answering this question, and I highly recommend you visit there before you buy!

It certainly couldn't crush ice or anything like that. I guess it would aerate cold beverages, but on the other hand, it heats at the same time as it froths, so I would say no, it can't make ice beverages.

I have my doubts it would have enough power to mix anything with ice involved.I ended up donated my blender to a charity. Not of any use for making protein smoothies with frozen berries either!

Absolutely. We just made a batch this fall using the equipment from this kit and it turned out great. Your local homebrew supply shop should be able to set you up with the apple pressing, yeast, yeast nutrients, and sodium bisulfite. Other than those things, everything you need to make cider will be included in this kit.

I haven't tried this. I believe a coffee grinder would be best for these things. I have only done frozen bananas, nuts, and carrots which it pulverizes, so I assume that it can.

My device blows just air - not heated air. I might blow off powdery, dry air, but I don't think it would do very well on slush.

Yes I use mine to crush ice. sometimes you have to shack it because ice gets wet and sticks but it also does that in a blender

If you pureed the fruit you could(whip out the blender lol). I was out of milk and supplies to make ice cream and made a delicious italian ice with TANG and some fresh oranges put in during the "mix-in" stage. Turned out quite well. I would be concerned about using large chunks of fruit as the motor on the beater isn't over powered.For a nice hard italian ice, i suggest putting it into a container after the ice cream maker is done and freeze it harder. Then scrape from the top with a spoon and enjoy :)

hmmm, I'm not sure quite honestly. What are you trying to make? There is not a lot of power to this so if you are trying to make things like frozen smoothies and stuff I would steer clear. If you are just mixing powdered items with liquids and minor stuff then this will do the job just fine.

I am not sure - think I read in manual not to be used to crush ice. Great for making smothies, sauces and chopping veg for soups, etc.

I don't exactly know the answer, but I will say that this is not "active" yeast like you would use to bake bread. Almost 100% positive that that means no, it won't ferment apple juice, or anything else.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tried it as I have a food Processor and mini processor so haven't needed to use it in that way.. It crushes ice very well so should..
