STRAWBERRY-HORCHATA RASPADOS



Strawberry-Horchata Raspados image

This Mexican snow cone is flavored by a strawberry version of the rice-based drink, horchata. It came to The Times from the pastry chef Fany Gerson, who grew up in Mexico City, after the newspaper put out a call for shaved-ice recipes. Ms. Gerson advises the use of Mexican cinnamon in the drink, suggests adding a second can of condensed milk to the syrup if you desire a stickier, sweeter outcome, and makes the excellent point that there is no need to seek out an expensive ice crusher to make a raspado. You can use a blender to crush ice.
