- Add thickened soda mixture to juices; stir well.
- Pour into glass and garnish, if desired. Note: Thickened ice cubes (up to 3 per serving) may be added to punch and frozen thickened juice used as garnishes**)
**Frozen Thickened Juice Garnishes & Ice Cubes
- Frozen Juice Garnishes: Freeze the appropriate consistency (Level 2 or 3) of THICK & EASY® Thickened Juices using food molds or other shaped containers resembling fruit pieces. Thickened juice may also be poured into a shallow pan and frozen. Just prior to serving, use a melon baller tool to create round shapes or shavings for garnish. Garnish beverages immediately, as frozen garnishes will melt quickly.
- Ice cubes: Thicken water to the desired consistency (Level 2 or 3) with THICK & EASY® Clear Instant Food & Beverage Thickener or use pre-thickened THICK & EASY® Thickened Water (Level 2 or 3). Pour into ice cube trays and freeze.
