Ingredients

  • 6 cups ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp strawberry flavoring
  • 1 tsp blue raspberry flavoring
  • 1 tsp lemon flavoring
  • Red food coloring
  • Blue food coloring
  • Yellow food coloring

Directions

  1. Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
  2. Remove the syrup from the heat and divide it evenly between three small bowls.
  3. Add strawberry flavoring and red food coloring to the first bowl, blue raspberry flavoring and blue food coloring to the second, and lemon flavoring and yellow food coloring to the third.
  4. Stir each syrup until evenly colored, then let them cool completely.
  5. Add the ice cubes to a blender or ice shaver and crush until the ice has a very fine, fluffy, snow-like texture.
  6. Divide the shaved ice between four snow cone cups, packing each one into a large rounded mound.
  7. Drizzle the red, blue, and yellow syrups generously over the shaved ice, using multiple colors on each snow cone.
  8. Serve immediately before the ice begins to melt.
