...Make Mermaid Lemonade Summer mermaid lemonade is the perfect soft drink to enjoy during the nice weather. Let's have a look at how the mermaids cool down in the summer! Ingredients: • A bottle of lemonade (keep in the fridge) • 3 cups of water (measuring cups) • Pink food colouring • Purple food colouring • Blue or green food colouring • 2/3 tablespoons of golden syrup • Edible colourful sprinkles (you can get these from the baking section of big supermarkets) • A straw • A slice of lemon First, we need to make some mermaid ice cubes. As the ice starts to melt your lemonade will change colour. This will give our drink a really bright, mermaid vibe!
STEP 1:
Divide water into three different measuring cups (a measuring cup that has the wee spout which helps you pour). Add a little bit of food colouring to the water. You should have one cup full of pink water, one cup purple water, and one cup blue/green water.
Top Tip! If you only have one measuring cup, use a glass or mug to keep the other colours of water in. Just make sure you wash the measuring cup after pouring each colour of water into the ice cube tray.
STEP 2:
Pour each colour of your water, separately, into your ice cube tray. You should have pink, purple and blue/green sections in your tray. Allow the ice to freeze overnight in your freezer.
STEP 3:
Pour a little golden syrup on a plate and place to the side.
the ice cubes into your glass in colourful layers I.e. pink then purple then blue. Add as much ice as you like!
STEP 7:
Take your lemonade from the fridge and carefully pour into your glass and over your colourful ice cubes.
STEP 8:
Add a nice paper straw and a slice of lemon on the rim and enjoy! Send us pictures of your summer creations on social media or to membership@ whocaresscotland.org and be featured in the next issue of SpeakOut
STEP 4:
Grab a nice glass from your cupboard and dip the rim of your glass into the golden syrup so it’s lightly coated around the rim.
STEP 5:
Dip the glass into the sprinkles and swirl it around until the whole rim is covered in the sprinkles.
STEP 6:
Take your colourful ice from the freezer and put
The Fox that Lost his Lunch By Luke, 12
The cunning fox hides in the beautiful purple lavender. He sees a cute rabbit and thinks about bagging him. The sly red fox runs straight ahead. With one though on his mind, “I want that fluffy furball dead!” The smug little rabbit plays amongst the grass. He clocks his opponent approaching mega fast. But the rabbit was smart, so he ran. He must have had a hunch! The fox was raging because he had lost his lunch!
