Snow Cone Booth
In April 2015 the Guild bought a snow cone machine and in May 2015 started selling snow cones at events as a fund raiser for the Kingdom Travel Fund.
The booth has been a huge success and has raised uncounted thousands of dollars for the Kingdom of Caid.
It’s also a lot of work and people are always requested to help with the booth:
- Making syrups for the snow cones
- Help setting up and tearing down the booth
- Help working the booth during the day
- Making Ice Runs before and during the event
Basic Syrup Recipe
If you haven’t made syrups before, here’s a basic syrup recipe:
- Syrup base: Boil 1 part sugar in 2 parts water until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool
- Flavoring: For each 2 cups of water, add three tea bags of spice tea of your choice, or a sandwich bag of berries or other flavorful fruit
- Aging: Put away in a dark place and ignore for a week
- Finishing: Filter out stuff, and taste it. If you want more flavor, repeat from the Flavoring step!
- Enjoy and be creative!
