Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Fill a blender halfway with ice. Pulse until fluffy and fine, not slushy—about 10 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Divide shaved ice evenly among four cups, mounding it slightly above the rim.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle syrups over each mound in stripes or patterns—use 3–4 tablespoons per serving.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 2 tablespoons condensed milk over the top of each shave ice.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze a wedge of fresh lime over each cup and serve immediately with a spoon.
