fresher than fresh snow cones

while we were down at Chez Elle, we remembered reading about this all natural snow cone place right there at 17th and Summit in the kansas city star. It has all natural snow cone flavors that are not your usual cherry, grape, rainbow flavors. it opened at Noon and there was already a line waiting!! the ones we had today were, Blackberry Lavender, Lime Mint, Espresso & Mexican Cane Sugar, and Pineapple & Serrano Pepper. All these unique flavors went together so greatly and were very flavorful. the Lime mint was very tart with the lime flavor but the real pieces of Mint leaves were so refreshing. the Espresso one was drizzled with some sweetened condensed milk on the top and it was fantastic too. I wasn't sure what to think about the Blackberry Lavender, but i tried it anyway. and it too was great! the blackberry flavors were so strong and meshed so well with the hint of lavender. but my favorite one was the Pineapple and Serrano Pepper. the pineapple was juicy and tropical and so sweet and then a few seconds after you down a couple of scoops of this snow cone the spicy heat of the serrano pepper kicks in. truly a great flavor combo. she has a few other creative flavors too. she is only in the garden at 17th and summit on Sundays 12-7 but other locations thru out the week. she does this all out of a very tiny turquoise and white air stream kind of trailer. check out the schedule on her website. she has even been featured in the Wall Street Journal and the Food TV magazine. definitely a great snow cone !!
