Safety notes

• Contains milk. Tap "Allergies?" on the Kitchen's front page and the swaps fill themselves in where there is one.
• Cut grapes in half the long way for little ones under 4.
• Read the label on packets for allergies.
• Freezer time.

Kitchen science

Frozen grapes are ice cubes you can eat: they cool the brew down without watering it.

Make it your own

• Freeze some white grape juice in ice cube trays for brew cubes.
• Use blueberry halves for little goblin eyes.
• Make a red brew with cranberry juice instead.
