Every summer, my kids pull out the snow cone maker (if it made it through the prior summer) and are ready for their cool summer treats.
We couldn't seem to find a store that sold the traditional syrup we normally purchased in the summers past. So I had this earth shattering idea to use those Kool-Aid packets I used to love as a kid.
The result.... a totally new addiction! The syrups we concocted were simply delicious and taste so much better than store-bought.
The recipe is simple. One cup sugar, one cup water, one Kool-Aid packet..... That's it! We stored ours in platic water bottles and have quite the assortment for whatever flavor you happen to be in the mood for!
Now how you achieve your snow will be up to your own creativity. We have a small ice shaver machine but a regular blender set to the highest speed setting should work well. I don't recommend the Snoopy Snow cone machine, unless you want a melted snow cone;0)
Enjoy!
