Snow Cone Syrup

Snow Cone Syrup/Shaved Ice Syrup

3/4 cup water*
3/4 cup sugar*
1 packet unsweetened "koolaid" OR 1-2 tsp. flavored extract

Heat water and sugar together until the sugar is completely dissolved. This only takes a few minutes. Once that is done, mix in the koolaid or flavored extract. Allow to cool, and then use it for your shaved ice or slushee mix.

*The original recipe that I came across said to mix 1 cup of water and 2 cups of sugar with 1 packet of koolaid. For me, this was just WAY too much sugar for me to even consider making it. I made it with the proportions listed above and it was absolutely perfect. Sweet, but not rot your teeth out sweet.
