How to make shaved ice at home

Shaved ice is a very suitable drink for summer and has a good cooling effect. We usually buy shaved ice outside. If you feel it is not very hygienic, making it at home is also a very good method. The ingredients required are very simple, and you can make it yourself once you master the method. So, how do you make shaved ice at home? Let’s take a look below.

Don’t throw away the bags of pure milk after drinking them at home. Of course, when making shaved ice, you must use the aseptic milk packaging bags shown in the picture, which are very thick, strong, and hygienic. After drinking the milk, clean the inside and it can be put to new use.

Pour boiled water into the milk bag, but don’t fill it too full, two-thirds will be enough. This type of milk bag can be shaped, so just fold the top of the bag down a few times and squeeze it tightly to roughly seal it. Since you might eat shaved ice often, you can make a few bags at a time. Place them in the freezer with the bag opening facing upwards. It usually freezes in two hours.

Delicious shaved ice is not just about ice cubes, it also requires ingredients of different flavors. While waiting for the ice to form, prepare some delicious ingredients and use the ready-made fruits at home. The dried fruits can be cut into cubes. You can also use red beans and mung beans, cook them in a pot of boiling water and then cool them. These toppings will make shaved ice even more delicious.

Take out a bag of ice from the refrigerator, wrap it with a towel, and use a small hammer to break it into pieces. Don't use too much force, it can be broken easily. The bag is sealed, and there is no need to worry about ice chips coming out. Knock it a dozen times until you feel the ice is very broken. Then open the bag and use a glass bowl to put the broken ice. It should be very fine and even.

Finally, sprinkle the ingredients you just made, and a cool and delicious shaved ice is ready!
