I can't believe THIS machine still lives! It's the same one my sisters and I used when we were kids.
I remember making shave ice for a special Filipino "halo-halo" dessert.
But the best part about this manually operated machine is: it uses NO electricity, and requires NO batteries. Instead, it uses a bountiful natural resource to us... twin power! They love taking turns turning the crank to make the 'snow.' Then we use our regular juice to flavor our homemade snow-cone, instead of sugary grenadine syrup.
So the end result is not store bought, puts out zero waste, uses natural energy, is healthy, hydrating, and keeps them delightfully entertained. I think it is safe to say we scored high on the "Go Green" campaign.
Because here in our home, and on our home planet,
every day is earth day!
