How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Prepare your ice shaving machine

    Prepare your ice shaving machine. If using a large ice block, ensure it is securely fitted into the holder.

  2. Shave the ice into a chilled bowl or glass

    Shave the ice into a chilled bowl or glass. Rotate the bowl as you shave to build a high, fluffy mountain of ice.

  3. Slowly pour the flavored syrup

    Slowly pour the flavored syrup over the shaved ice, starting from the top and working your way down to ensure even coverage.

  4. Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk

    Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk and add optional toppings like red bean paste or fresh fruit. Serve immediately before the ice melts.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best texture, use a proper Japanese ice shaving machine which creates a snow-like consistency rather than crunchy crushed ice. If possible, let the ice block sit at room temperature for a few minutes before shaving so it is not too brittle.
