We recently joined a small swimming pool, where a trip to the snack bar is like stepping back in time. Where else can you pick up candy for $.01, $.05 or $.10? Snow cones are also offered for $.50 each. Not a bad price, but still more expensive than home-made. Use these tips to create your own cold, frozen treat:
Crush ice using your blender, chopper or shredder
Scoop crushed ice into cups
Cover with sugary beverage of choice:
- Soda that's lost its fizz
- Ice Pop tube (the kind that comes in a box and has to be frozen)
- Strong Kool-Aid (use half as much sugar as called for)
- Juice (great for little kids)
Serve with a spoon and a straw.
