Kid Friendly Recipes- Brown Cow Float and More

 

Have you ever had a brown cow? How about a spotted cow? They are really easy and fun drinks to make using these kid friendly recipes. Each recipe calls for three ingredients. Children who can pour, stir and scoop on their own or with help a little help. They will able to create these fun drinks in less than two shakes of a cow’s tail. Okay, it may make three shakes. The basic ingredients each of these kid friendly recipes are ice cream, flavored syrup and soda or juice. Actually the traditional brown cow and other colored cow floats use soda in them. I thought it would be nice to throw in one that has juice instead. I know not all of you like for  your kid’s soda or pop.

 

Here are the kid friendly recipes:

 

Brown Cow Float

Ingredients

Root beer

2 Tablespoon of  Chocolate Syrup per glass

Vanilla Ice Cream

Directions:

1. Add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup into each glass.
2. Pour only enough root beer  in the glass to reach up to about two or three  inches from the top of the glass. (You don’t want to fill the glass full with soda.)
3. Mix the soda and syrup together with a tall spoon. If you have a sweet tea spoon, it would be perfect. Some people prefer to leave the syrup on the bottom, mixing the soda and the syrup blends the flavors. It is also fun to do.
4. Now for the tricky part. Adding ice cream to the glass in an opportunity to talk about liquid displacement so, add the ice cream in very slowly if you think you are worried about the soda flowing out of the glass. There is also a chance for bubble overflow from the ice cream and soda being combined.  This is an opportunity to talk about chemical reactions!
5. Finally you need to place a straw into the brown cow float and do a taste test.
