Instructions

  1. Heat the water with the sugar until fully dissolved, then let it cool and add the lemon juice.
  2. Blend the fruit with a little syrup to make a smooth purée, then keep it chilled.
  3. Crush the ice cubes in a food processor or blender, a little at a time, until you get a fine, light snow.
  4. Divide the shaved ice among four cold bowls, pressing it down gently.
  5. Drizzle with the fruit purée and syrup, then add your chosen toppings.
  6. Serve immediately, as the ice melts quickly.

Variations and tips

Matcha. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of matcha in a little warm water and add it to the syrup for a green, slightly bitter flavor.
