Ingredients
Scale
Ice
- Crushed ice (enough for 4 snow cones)
Syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup flavored syrup (e.g., cherry, blueberry, lime)
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit slices for garnish
- Condensed milk for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice: Use a snow cone machine or a blender to crush the ice into a fine, snow-like consistency that will mimic authentic snow cones.
- Make the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat while stirring continuously until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture becomes clear.
- Add Flavoring: Stir in your preferred flavored syrup or fruit juice into the sugar syrup. Allow the syrup to cool down to room temperature before using.
- Fill the Cups: Spoon the crushed ice into paper cones or cups, gently packing it down to form a perfect mound.
- Drizzle Syrup: Generously pour the prepared flavored syrup over the crushed ice until it is well coated and the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Optional Toppings: Enhance your snow cones by adding fresh fruit slices for garnish or drizzling condensed milk over the top to add extra flavor and creaminess.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your snow cones right away to experience the best texture and refreshing taste before the ice melts.
Notes
- Use a snow cone machine or a strong blender for the best crushed ice texture.
- You can use any fruit-flavored syrup or juice to customize your snow cones.
- Condensed milk adds a nostalgic creamy sweetness but is optional.
- Serve immediately to prevent melting and soggy texture.
- Try garnishing with fresh fruit to add freshness and visual appeal.
