Traditional Snow Cone
6 snow cones
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 packet powdered drink mix (packets are typically 1 to 1.25 ounces)
- 24 ice cubes
Preparation
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and boil for about 1 minute, stirring often until sugar is dissolved. (This is called a simple syrup.)
- Remove from heat, and stir in the powdered drink mix. Allow to cool in the refrigerator, and store in a container that will be easy to pour.
- While the mixture is cooling, prepare the ice. Once the ice cubes have been processed, scoop into individual portions and pour the fruit syrup over the ice.
Note: To prepare a snow cone with multiple colors, prepare different flavored/colored fruit syrups. Some stores also sell prepared fruit syrups that can be used in addition to homemade versions.
