How to Make Shaved Ice at Home: Tips on Using a Shaver, Topping Suggestions, and More | Eater

"A shave-ice shop with locations in Portland, Oregon, and on Kauai that moved from hand-crank machines to electric shavers to handle heavy crowds; co-founder Cory Arashiro stresses that finely shaved ice (not mashed or grated) is key to the ideal texture and that either manual or electric shavers work at home when demand is low. Syrups are made from fresh fruit juice and cane sugar, and the signature topping is haupia foam (a whipped coconut-milk topping); traditional Hawaiian accoutrements like snowcap (condensed milk), coconut flakes, mochi, and li hing mui sit alongside playful additions such as Oreos, Nutella drizzle, and marshmallows." - Kat Thompson
