Thai Shaved Ice

I will be off to Tottori prefecture with my family for a few days so I 'd like to keep this post short. 

Today recipe is Thai Shaved Ice, นํ้าแข็งไส, one of my all time favorite desserts. It is  so damned easy to make but super delicious nonetheless. I added grass jelly(เฉาก๊วย), palm seed in syrup(ลูกตาลเชื่อม) and sweet corn kennels but you can try making your own version with almost anything you want. The Thai Shaved Ice vendors in Bangkok usually sweeten their Thai Shaved Ice with syrup, coconut syrup or Red Hales Blue Boy syrup. Again, you can choose whatever you like.
