Questions

What should I use if I can't find real snow?

You can use ice crushed in a food processor or ice crusher at home to achieve the same snow consistency.

Which syrups are preferred?

Grape molasses is traditionally the most common, but carob molasses, blackberry extract, or fruit syrups also pair wonderfully.
