Shaved Ice

Nothing is easier than freezing water to make ice. Usually this ice is made from pure water, but it can also be mildly flavored or infused. If it is heavily flavored, remember that the flavors, being heavier than water, will sink to the bottom of the ice as it freezes, making the flavor dispersion uneven. The block of ice should be large enough to be shaved comfortably. The smaller the block, the harder it will be to shave.
