Crushed Ice

Materials Needed:

Food Chopper , Food Processor, or blender

Plastic Cup

Straw

Obtain some crushed ice from your freezer’s ice machine.  If you don’t have an ice machine, get some ice and put it in a Ziploc bag.  Double bag it and use a meat tenderizer to chop the ice into smaller pieces.)  Place the crushed ice in your electric food chopper, food processor or blender.  Crush the ice until it is like powdery snow.   Pour into a cup using a scraper spatula (I use a silicone one).  Gently form into a cone shape with clean hands.  Pour syrup over the “snow cone” and enjoy.  Serve with a spoon and a straw, if desired.
