Snow Cone Syrup Recipe

Thanks to this easy Snow Cone Syrup Recipe, you can cool down all Summer long with delicious Hawaiian style shaved ice!

Prep Time2 minutes mins

Cook Time8 minutes mins

Total Time10 minutes mins

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Servings: 10

Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 Kool-Aid Packets {OR 12 Oz. Frozen Fruit Juice can be substituted}

Instructions

• Add water and sugar to medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
• Then reduce heat to LOW, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
• For Kool-Aid Version: Add 2 envelopes of Kool-Aid, and stir well until it has completely dissolved. Transfer to bowl, and allow syrup to cool to room temperature.
• For Fruit Juice Version: Add 12 oz. Frozen Fruit Juice {my favorite is Hawaiia’s Own Guava Passion Orange}, and stir well until it has completely dissolved. Allow to simmer on low for 3 more minutes.
• Then turn heat off, allow syrup to cool to room temperature, and transfer to plastic condiment squeeze-bottles.
• Store snow cone syrup in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make your snow cones, and use within 7 – 10 days.
• I like to use 1 tbsp. of syrup for a snow cone in a cup, or 2 tbsp. of syrup for a snow cone in a small bowl.
• To make the rainbow effect, make 3 different batches of syrup: red, yellow, and blue. Then when making your snow cone, pour red syrup on the left 3rd, yellow in the middle section {slightly overlapping the red}, and blue syrup on the right 3rd {slightly overlapping the yellow}. This will create the traditional rainbow colored snow cone you'll find in Hawaii.
• If you're feeling really gourmet, serve your snow cone over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and top with shaved coconut. It's delicious!
