Notes
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SIMPLE SYRUP
In a small saucepan, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water and heat over MED heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and boil for several minutes, then remove from heat and cool completely. When blending wine cubes, use 1/3 of the cooled simple syrup in each of the white, pink, and red layers. As written, this wine slush is mildly sweet. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add as much simple syrup as you want.FOR A THINNER DRINK
This is a pretty thick slush, but if you prefer a thinner drink, you can add some white grape juice to each blend to thin it out to your desired texture.GUM-LESS SLUSHY
If you'd rather not use xanthan gum, feel free to omit it.Nutrition
