The fresh fallen snow looks absolutely scrumptious when the sun twinkles off a bed of tiny pristinely unique flakes. Grab a handful of that lovely white fluffy stuff before the dog yellows it up, pack it tight and use it to make some of these brain-freezing, mind-numbing seasonal snowcone flavours. If you are planning on getting together with some grownups, there are also some ideas for snotinis to warm your holiday spirits!

Spicy christmas cone

2 sticks cinnamon
6 cloves zest of 1 orange
3 slices of ginger

Combine cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange zest, ginger, sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool down to room temperature before adding food colouring. Transfer to a bottle and store it in the refrigerator for a couple weeks.

  1. You might want to consider changing the name to “snowtini.” When I first saw “snotini” I had a very different mental picture than the one you intended.
