I've been enjoying this. It takes a bit of practice and finesse produce the nice fluffy "snow" style of ice if that's what you want, but it can be done.
Tip1: I use repurposed 16 oz. cottage cheese/sour cream containers to make the ice. Fill them about 2/3 full or so. The resulting ice pucks fit perfectly and since the containers have lids, I can make several at a time and stack them in the freezer.
Tip2: We like to use thawed frozen drink concentrates instead of the syrups. My favorite is the 100% grape juice with no added sugars. (saves $$ and tastes better)
Tip3: Make awesome frozen lemonade (or other drinks) by preparing your frozen or powdered drink mixes extra strong and pouring it over a glass packed full of 'snow'.
Tip4: We find that those little Mexican style salsa/dip bowls made of thick-ish plastic are great serving dishes. Perfect serving size. Don't freeze your hands. Don't get soggy and drip. (also, small Dairy-Queen size plastic spoons are nicer to eat with than regular size freezing cold metal ones)
