160g seedless red or green grapes
A tsp honey

Tips on How to Get Even Better Results
Once you have poured out the mixture, it's a good idea to let it chill in the fridge or freezer for a little while before pouring into the slushie maker. This will help speed up the freezing process.
If you are using a mixture that has lot of sugar in it, it will tend to reach the right consistency before mixtures that contain milk or low sugar do.
Don't use thick mixtures like whipped cream - always start with thin liquid ingredients.
Don't leave the machine on longer than you need to. 40 minutes is probably a good cut-off time. If your slushie isn't done by then you should turn off the unit and revise your recipe.
You can use carbonated drinks to make slushies but they don't freeze easily.
