Snow cones:
make a simple syrup using 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, cooking until sugar dissolves. You can also do this with fresh squeezed orange or lemon juice. Today we did it with fresh squeezed orange juice and a little bit of zest (strain before serving) and then I added 1/2 tsp vanilla once I had removed it from the heat. It tasted so yummy.
Next take some bowls outside and fill with well-packed fresh, clean snow. Pour syrup over snow (some of snow will melt so make sure you have plenty) and enjoy. The kids think it's so cool that you are actually giving them a bowl of snow to eat and it tastes pretty good too! An added bonus-I just read that kids who eat snow have stronger immune systems (see the Deseret News)! So, as long as it's not yellow or brown, let 'em eat it!
