Man, was today hot! I happen to have the privelege of working in un-air-conditioned elementary schools hauling heavy boxes of textbooks around. This morning, when I walked into the library of the school, it felt like stepping into a sauna. To cool off, I have come up with an incredibly simple summer treat that I know you will all love too!
Tools: Blender (or some other way to crush ice), bowl, knife, spoon
Ingredients:
2 c ice cubes
1/4 lemon
1/8ish lime
Agave syrup
Directions:
1) Blend the ice in a blender until desired consistency is reached. My Vita-Mix tends to make snow, but true shave ice has larger ice chunks. Place ice into a small bowl or cup.
2) Squeeze the juice of the quarter of the lemon and lime into the ice. Add more, if desired.
3) Squirt some agave over the top of the ice. Enjoy!
Of course, you could experiment with other fruits and such, especially if you are fortunate enough to own a juicer. This could even allow you to create syrups that you could store in the fridge for future shave ice creations! Also, I do have two other posts I've been meaning to get up, but it feels tacky to post three things in one day. Plus I need to use my laptop to get pics off my camera. Anyways, look out for two more posts very soon. Until then, happy cooking!
