FAQs

Can I make the strawberry syrup ahead of time?

Yes, strawberry syrup can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just warm it slightly before using if it has thickened.

What if I don’t have a shaved ice machine?

You can crush ice using a blender or food processor until it reaches a fine, fluffy consistency similar to shaved ice. Alternatively, place ice cubes in a clean towel and crush with a rolling pin.
