maple snow cones-help

[smitty76]

I am going to try making maple snow cones. with no experience, i am guessing that i should thin the syrup, but unsure as to how much. Does anyone have any experience that they would like to share?

All we do at the fair is pour syrup, preferably grade B, at proper density on a cone of ice just like normal sno cones and you are good to go.

and that is what me and the kids did, and it worked great. i thought that the syrup would be too thick, but that is not the case. i poured refridgerated syrup over the shaved ice and it flowed into the ice like magic. thank you 802, my girls thank you too.

well, took the sno-cone machine to the van etten community festival and it was a hit. in fact I sold out before it was over. they want me to bring it back next year. I even got some new customers. well worth the community exposure. My kids want them after dinner every night.
