Oh, it's getting warmer, and I'm craving a snow cone! Sometimes I think about my old Snoopy Snow Cone Maker and remember those days of grinding ice for hours just to make a few icy treats. Maybe I'll try a grown-up version instead like these coffee & cardamom and watermelon ginger granitas…yum!

My favorite snow cones ever are in Kansas City served out of a little trailer called Fresher than Fresh. Lindsay makes all of her own syrups and grows most of the herbs that go into the syrups. With flavors like lime-mint and blackberry-sage there is nothing better.http://bit.ly/bScBgl
Too many ice-cream headaches! We mean, snow-cone headaches! Pain….
I love snow cones! My pawpaw used to have a little shop and I would sit there all day with him and help make them! It was so much fun! Oh to be 5 again!
what?! coffee and cardamom snow cones? i think i’m going to be very anxious until i get my hands on one of those!
Totally LOVED my Snoopy Snow Cone maker!!
Joy! My friend Lindsay (also of Hammerpress fame) has the most wonderful snow cone business and Kansas City, MO. You should check it out if you have a minute:

So weird! I was just talking about my snoopy snow cone maker…good times.
omg joy have you had halo-halo?
You brought back so many memories of childhood summers!
i had a snoopy snow cone maker, too!!! 🙂
ooh, the memories.
I bet these granitas are even better than the snow cones!
I want to make one now for real, but I’m going to bookmark this for a hot day. A day where I will need eat frozen goodness to battle my lack of air conditioning.
mmm the watermelon ginger sounds amazing. I made a jasmine green tea, lavender honey and spearmint granita last summer. thanks for inspiring me to return to the recipe!
awwww! total memory blast when i clicked on the link to the snowcone maker… we had one too growing up!! i remember sticky syrupy hands…
