To make your own homemade syrup for snow cones you only need sugar, water and this
Snow Cone Syrup Recipe
Snow Cone Syrup Recipe2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 .22 ounce unsweetened powder drink mix
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then immediately remove from heat. Don’t allow it to boil or you will make hard candy! Allow to cool. We used a funnel to put 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.
Those Kool Aid packets are actually quite versatile! Did you know they can be used to make hair dye? Learn how to dye your hair with Kool Aid. It would be another fun kids activity.
For the record, a much healthier option is to use first, a no color kool aid and second… stevia in place of half of that two cups of sugar. Stevia, has no caloric count, no glycemic index and is ten times sweeter than sugar.
HOW DO YOU CRUSH ICE WITHOUT A ICE CRUSHER.
we dont have those in new zealand! do we?
@Patty- I refrigerate the syrup (that’s what the store bought ones say to do). I don’t know how long they’re supposed to last, but ours have kept for about a year, when they get old the sugar starts to settle.
@olga- for crushed ice , buy the pre-sweetened kool-aid (in the container). You blend 3 cups of ice ,1 cup of water. and 1/2 cup koolaid mix. These are great if you don’t have an ice shaver.
can you make the crushed ice without a special ice crusher thingy? some thing like blend ice.
Thanks! It costs $12.00 Canadian for 3 bottles. Ridiculous! That is why I serched for a home-made recipe. QUESTION: Does it have to be stored in the fridge? How long does it keep for?
Thanks. 🙂
this is stupid
i hate it
And I have to say I admire Mitch Daniels for choosing his familys emotional well being over the day to day hell of a presidential campaign. Just imagine how different the lives of the Palin children would be if their mom had made the same decision.
