hey guys I’m Nate welcome back to the
workshop not too long ago we showed you
how to take a simple recipe and mix it
with liquid nitrogen
to make your own ice cream it got me
thinking that maybe there are some other
things you could mix liquid nitrogen
with for other kinds of desserts so I
want to see if we can take soda and mix
it with liquid nitrogen to make our own
slushies this process I think is going
to be pretty straightforward we’re gonna
pour some of our soda into our bowl and
then slowly add liquid nitrogen while
stirring until we get the consistency we
want unless it doesn’t work in which
case this is going to be a really dumb
video I bet overworked its liquid
nitrogen eventually something will
freeze that’s the goal all right
[Music]
I want to fill this cup with our slushie
once it’s all frozen so I’m just gonna
use this cup to measure how much soda to
put in should work about right let’s
just try splashing in a little bit of
liquid nitrogen and stir it up spatula
is a really good tool for keeping stuff
off of the walls but I think I want
something that will do a little bit
better of a job of mixing liquid
nitrogen into the soda let’s try the
beater attachment to a hand mixer I
could use the hand mixer itself but I
think that might just be so vigorous
that it splashes soda and liquid
nitrogen everywhere that’s not my goal
today so I’ll just use this by hand
[Music]
and see it fills up with vapor very
quickly unless I blow it all out we’re
already starting to get some frozen
slush along the sides of the bowl yes
that’s when I want my spatula and you
can see that there is some slush already
beginning to form down inside the soda
this is looking like it’s gonna work
really well
[Music]
but you can see it’s definitely gotten
thicker it’s to the point where I can
sort of pile it on top of itself which i
think is a very good sign if you’re
getting pretty good results let’s give
this a taste and see how it’s doing
[Music]
that’s really good it tastes like a
slushie made from soda it hmm almost all
of the fizz is gone from this tastes
really good though let’s keep adding a
little bit of liquid nitrogen and try
and get it like a really stiff
consistency I’m pretty good there’s nice
and thick kind of like it’s actually
almost I think more of a snow cone
consistency at this point more snow cone
less slushy that’s really good it’s nice
and frozen easy to pick up with a spoon
has the same taste in the soda like I
said I think it’s lost all of the
carbonation at this point but it’s quite
good let’s try and scoop it back out of
the bowl into my cup and see if we can
get a nice cup full slushy Oh had so
much liquid nitrogen on the bottom of
our Bowl that it started to freeze some
parts of it completely solid less slushy
and more ice cube well I think that
works very well we now have a cup of
slushy tastes great
the consistency is really nice like it’s
super super smooth I don’t think I’ve
ever had slushie where the consistency
was that smooth almost creamy if ice can
be creamy yeah I really like that
if you’ve ever just tried freezing soda
other than just exploding out of the can
or bottle that it’s in it sort of seems
to separate a lot of the time so you
have just a chunk of almost unflavored
ice and then sort of just syrup on the
sides that didn’t really freeze as much
this is very evenly mixed up so it
really has the same taste as in soda
[Music]
maybe I’ll try it with some other
flavors
[Music]
[Music]
there you have it using soda and liquid
nitrogen to make yourself some delicious
frozen slushies it works very well it
goes very quickly and overall I think
it’s a fantastic result I was a little
bit surprised that it completely seems
to get rid of all of the carbonation in
the slushy it starts out very fizzy of
course since it’s soda but by the end
it’s just got a smooth texture with no
fizz to it I’m wondering if it would
work to make this same idea but using
dry ice to cool down the soda instead of
liquid nitrogen
maybe the dry ice that has been cooled
down in the Kenai dream so it’s very
powdery and extra cold
I think the dry ice would then help
recarbanation asoto as it froze it or
maybe it would still be so cold that the
carbon dioxide can’t dissolve into it
I’m not sure thanks for joining us for
this experiment today and remember to
come get your hats shirts and other cool
merch at the king of random comm see you
there
hey guys grant here just want to pop in
with a quick update that the king of
random brand is expanding Nate’s here
because you wanted more DIY more variety
more frequent videos and together we’re
all making that happen thanks for your
support
