To make your own homemade syrup for snow cones you only need sugar, water, and Kool-Aid drink mix packets.
Snow Cone Syrup Recipe Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 – .22 ounce unsweetened powder drink mix
How to make Snow Cone Syrup
- Mix all ingredients in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil and then immediately remove from heat.
- Allow to cool.
- We used a funnel to put the syrup into a recycled bottle.
Pour syrup over shaved ice (our machine makes great soft shaved ice) and enjoy!
I know I know, this is not healthy and I am one of those moms that won’t buy sugared cereal—- sorry I am a bit of a hypocrite (especially since I feed my kids this too)! Snow cones are definitely a treat, one we love! Making the snow cone syrup yourself is so much cheaper than buying the flavored syrup from the store and it tastes better.

Sugar is a natural preservative so I would think it would last for months. I did refrigerate they leftovers.
