After years of longing for the flavours that defined my childhood ice lollies, I discovered they were nowhere to be found. This ignited my quest to bring those cherished tastes back to life in an even more delightful way. In my quest, I came across shaved ice, which intrigued my interest as this was a new experience. In South Africa, the search for genuine shaved ice or snowcones often led to disappointment. The few examples I stumbled upon at distant farmers’ markets were more akin to crushed ice or slushies, lacking the delicate, snow-like texture I sought.
