    how to make sherbet

    It's week two of the great house-arrest school holidays of 2017.

    To add an additional level of difficulty to the situation the farm paddocks were covered in a thick layer of chook poo on Friday, so the whole place is so stinky the kids don't want to play outside (and I can't really blame them).

    Desperate times, my friends.

    Desperate times and desperate measures.

    Yesterday, the troops and I made sherbet. It's a really easy recipe - just four ingredients, most of which you already have in your pantry.

    If you want to draw out the fun (and add a bit of science to the equation) have the kids taste each of the ingredients first, guessing what the taste will be before they try it.

    Yield 4 serves

    Looking for something fun to do these school holidays? Sherbet is easy and fun to make. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already!

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb soda)
    • 1 teaspoon citric acide
    • 2 tbs icing sugar
    • 3 tbs jelly crystals (you choose the flavour)

    Instructions

    Mix the ingredients together and enjoy the fizzy goodness!

    We have another week and a half of school holidays to go. I know many of you have just started this week - here's a copy of my school holiday rules to print + stick on your fridge.

    If you’re looking for more ways to entertain the kids, you might like to make damper on a stick, try some basic science experiments or make a snowman pizza.

    are you off anywhere good these school holidays?
