This past weekend I had peach-flavored water ice (the Italian/Philly version of raspados) and it was yummy! Miss the ones from back home tho.

But I do have to mention the demise of raspado vendors making their own sauces/toppings, nowadays it seems as if they all just go to the smart&final for their syrups. And the taste is predictably bland. If I see those gallon jugs on their cart I steer clear. So what's this that you're not a fan of most street food? We need to do an ambulante intervention!

To save some time I boil a cup of sugar with a cup of water until sugar dissolves. Take two big handfuls of mint and rub it in your hands then dump it in the sugar water. Allow to cool then strain into a jar. Now mix equal parts lime and rum, plus a tablespoon of simple syrup mix per oz of Rum or Lime juice. Pour over shaved ice - Mojito Raspa!

Tamarindo for sure. I love the gooey stuff in little packets too. I also gotta go with coconut..mango...pineapple. Unfortunately I don't have a raspado man around here. Growing up, my nana used to make her own with this antique ice shaving machine. I used to get to excited to see my uncles bring it out. She would also make her own pineapple syrup. Gawd, that stuff was so good. It would take her several hours and she used this big blue enamelware pot. I remember like it was yesterday. Desert Chicano--there is no way you could have a raspado man out where you live homie. They would die of heat exhaustion! :) Mmmmmmmmmm. Tamarindo for sure.
