You don't have to use a snowcone machine or lots of sugary syrup to get a cool treat for the kids! Try this on a hot day with their favorite juice. Servings will vary by how much ice you use per cup and how much juice you pour over the ice. If you want a stronger fruit flavor, just use less water (or more juice). My amounts are approximate; feel free to vary the ratios to personalize it to your own taste. :o) Great take-along for picnics, too...just keep the crushed ice in a cooler and mix up the snowcones as you need them.
