    When it's cool, chuck a couple of ounces (50g) of dry rice grains in there. Add about half a pint (250-300mil) of COLD water - and give it to the kids to shake for about half an hour :)

    Then put a tablespoon of bicarb into a jug full of water, mix well and pour it in. tp the kettle up to fairly full (but not all the way), and bring to the boil.

    Rinse thoroughly when done.
