Snow Cones-Reason #29 Why I Love Living In Canada

Sometimes I wonder if my brain has been wired a lil' differently!   

{No insults from the peanut gallery.  This is a positive platform remember}

Let me explain...

This huge icicle caught my eye this morning as I was washing dishes!

What's the first thing you think of when you see this icicle?

Remember your answer because I'd love to hear what it was in my comment section below!!!

So this is what popped into my head at 8am this morning while studying this natural beauty!

"I bet you that icicle would make an awesome snow cone!"

See, I told you my brain is wired a little differently than most!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here today to tell you, yes, the icicle hangin' outside my kitchen window was quite delicious and the highlight of our cold winter day!
This leads me to the title of my post!  Why am I happy to be living in Canada?  An endless supply of snow and icicles, which have the potential for becoming tasty treats!

Snow Cones

What you'll need to make your own refreshing snow cones

1.Ice (if the idea of using icicles from your eves trough creeps you out, then feel free to use ice from your freezer)

 

2.  Blender

3. Syrup

2 cups sugar

1 cup water

1 (0.13 ounce) package unsweetened, fruit-flavored soft drink mix

In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and boil for about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in the drink mix. Allow to cool, and store in a container for pouring. Pour over shaved ice to flavor

4. Cups and straws with the scoop on the end of it

Enjoy!

ps...I still wanna hear what came to mind when you saw the giant icicle!
