I used to have a shaved-ice maker. In fact I still have it. But the problem is I usually ended up just drinking all the syrup. You know, that's meant for flavoring the ice. Don't get me wrong, that stuff's delicious. But it's like, literally pure sugar. Well, high fructose corn syrup, technically. But the point is, it's not particularly healthy to drink straight from the bottle. Alas, temptation is a constant companion of mine So I don't make shaved-ice anymore.
