Hey guys, it's Ro! Welcome to another nerdy Nummies!
We have a special guest today. It's my friend, Justine. Justine: Hi!
We did a bunch of videos this year and it's summertime.
I had to have you on because we are gonna be making something that we've never made before.
We're gonna be trying out a new gadget.
This is an ice maker.
So today, I got a lot of requests for you guys to make something from Monsters, Inc.
because we've never made something from Monsters, Inc.
So, we are going to be making the snow cones that the
Abominable Snowman offers Mike and Sulley in Monsters, Inc.
But don't worry, they're lemon!
Let's get started!
The things you will need will be:
1/4 cup of water,
1 cup of fresh lemon juice,
2 cups of sugar,
2 tablespoons of corn syrup,
Lemon yellow food coloring,
and a shave ice maker.
Let's put it all together!
This recipe is super simple.
We're just going to add all of the ingredients to this pot.
I'm gonna pour in the lemon juice, you pour in the sugar.
J: Okay, should we do it together? Okay, ready? Yup Ro: Yeah, let's do a double pour! Ready? Go!
OOOOOOOH
This smells so good. Smell it! That's like sweet lemonade.
Like, it's a little too sweet, but it is sweet lemonade. Oh!
Then, the water and corn syrup, and you might need to use a spoon because it's a little sticky.
Ro: Whisk together until well combined. J: This is a huge whisk!
Ro: It's heavy duty!
J: This is industrial. Ro: Stainless steel!
Place your sauce pot on the burner, turn the heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, turn off the heat, remove from the stove, and bring it back to your baking station.
J: So we took our lemon syrup off the stove and here it is.
Now, it's a little bit yellow, but I feel like it's not yellow enough.
Ro: Mm-hmm
That's why you want to add a few drops of food coloring.
It's totally optional. It is a light yellow, but I want it to be a bright yellow like the movie.
You mix and I'm gonna add two drops.
One!
J: Ooh!
Two!
Ro: There you go, there you go. J: That's super yellow.
We are gonna funnel our syrup into these squeeze bottles to make things a little bit easier.
J: Oh, that's a good idea and you can save it for later!
Ro: Yeah J: *gasps*
Just be careful. I don't want you to burn yourself.
Ro: Oh, wow, it's stuck to there. J: We had some things happen,
Ro: Yeah, she spilled a little bit. J: that's because she invited me here and so..
Well, we turn the burner on, and then we were just catching up.
*flashback* Justine, this makes me so happy that is our day, you know?
J: Yay! Oh goodness gracious! Ro: It's like... AAAHHHH
OH GOD, OH NO!
J: This is what happens when you let me in your kitchen!
Ro: Okay, can you peel it down there? I'll hold it up here steady. J: Yes. Yup. Okay.
J: Very steady.
Ro: Alright, Justine, move your hands. What if I... Okay
OOOHH
NOOOO
J: It's fine. Ro: I'm not very good at pouring.
J: Do you want me to try? I don't think I'm much better. Ro: Yeah. I'll have you try.
Don't worry about it, Justine, you pour. I'll get some paper towels. It'll be fine.
Ro: Look at you! Justine, I am so proud of you.
J: OH NO! But now... Oh God! Ro: Quick, quick! Switch it over! Switch it over!
Ro: I got it! Here! J: *laughs* Oh God!
J: The simplest recipe.
Ro: We'll just share, we'll just share!
J: I can't be here! Ro: *laughs*
Ro: The sink! J: It's too hot to put in the sink.
Ro: No, you can put it in there. I'll get this.
Okay, I'm gonna need more towels.
J: Oh my God! Ro: Uh-oh
Ro: Girl, we are gonna need a whole roll of them. J: Goodness gracious!
J: Well, maybe we just clean up and then you know, movie magic. Ro: Sorry... Yeah
J: It's gonna look incredible. Ro: Yeah, okay.
Ting!
Ro: Our lemon syrup is ready. J: Look at what we did!
Let's shave some ice.
We plugged in the machine.
We've got a bowl of ice here, an empty bowl. Then, over here, I've got an ice cream scoop, a spatula,
and some little snow cones.
J: You can even decorate them!
Ro: Put some ice cubes in. Fill it up. J: Okay.
J: Do you know how many? Ro: No...
J: Hmm... Let's put just like one more.
Ro: Okay. What could go wrong? J: Why-why-why not?
(war flashbacks)
J: Are you ready? Ro: It's gonna be a little loud, but push down.
J: OH JEEZ!
J: WHOA!
J: WOW! LOOK AT THAT! Ro: We did it!
J: WE NEED MORE ICE!
Ro: Okay, okay, okay! Go, go, go, go!
Go!
Too much, too much.
Ro: Oh, jeez J: Something's happened, maybe too much ice.
Ro: Too much ice. We'll just take it back.
J: YAAAAY! Ro: *laughs*
Once you have your shave ice, drizzle a little bit of flavor on top.
J: This looks like exactly what you think it looks like.
Ro: Yellow snow? J: Mm-hmm
Ro: *giggles*
Then, using a spatula, mix together.
Do the honors.
Go for it. Get in there.
J: Ooooh! Ro: Yes!
Yes!
*gasps*
We did it.
J: It's beautiful! Ro: Lemon snow cone!
J: We gotta make another one. Ro: Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Gotta make one for me, I can't eat yours.
TA-DA!!!
Here are the yellow snow cones that we made today from Monsters, Inc.
A big thank you to you guys for suggesting something from Monsters, Inc.
and a big thank you to Justine for helping me make these today.
J: Thanks for having me this looks-wow, I put a little too much syrup on mine.
J: Mine's overflowing. Let's go take a sip. Ro: That's okay, we can take a little sip.
J: Okay Ro: Yeah
Ro: Mmmm
Ro: This is the perfect treat for summer. J: It is so good.
It's like a little lemonade slushie
