Yum! We have a snowcone machine and I (Bird) eat them all day long (made with Splenda), so this recipe was a great find. Buddha made the recipe for me, as directed (using regular sugar). We froze it in ice cube trays and used the machine to shave it. This is a very light and refreshing treat that just says to you.... 'It's summertime' :)
