Puschel’s Apple Splash
A tiny splash and a drop on his nose: Puschel and Flauschi make apple, cucumber and lemon water with no added sugar.
The little story
The Test Droplet
Puschel brought half an apple to the kitchen table. Puschel“Today I am inventing Apple Splash!” Flauschi set out a jug of water.
After washing and slicing everything with an adult’s help, Puschel slipped an apple slice into the water. Splash! One tiny drop landed on his black nose.
Flauschi giggled. Flauschi“A little splash is plenty.” Puschel nodded solemnly: Puschel“That was a test droplet!”
They let the apple, cucumber and lemon infuse, then tried their gently flavoured water. Puschel“Not very sweet, but lovely and fresh,” said Puschel. Flauschi raised her glass: Flauschi“To our drink break!”
