Make Kratzeis Yourself – Here’s How

Make Kratzeis yourself: basic recipe

The scratch ice from the supermarket consists of sugared water with coloring. Making food coloring yourself is not difficult, but our version with syrup is even easier:

1. Ingredients: An empty mug, syrup with the flavor of your choice, for example, raspberry or woodruff, and still water.
2. Fill half of the mug with the syrup and top up the rest with water. Give the mixture a good stir so everything is combined.
3. Cover the mug with cling film and place it in the freezer for about four hours. Your ice cream is then ready to be eaten.

Alternatives for your scraper ice

In addition, if you want to try different varieties, you can freeze different juices or similar. There are no limits to your creativity – it is only important that the liquid does not contain any carbon dioxide.

• You can also make Kratzeis from fruit juices: Fill a cup with orange juice or multivitamin juice, for example, and put it in the freezer for several hours. Compared to syrup, fructose is healthier and still sweet enough.
• Coffee is also a suitable ingredient for your homemade ice cream. Depending on how sweet you like it, you may want to add sugar beforehand. Brew your coffee as usual. Instead of drinking it, pour it into the mug and just freeze it.
• Kratzeis made from tea is even healthier than the basic recipe. Here, too, you can sweeten as you like.
