Thanks for sharing. Am wanting to open a shaved ice-taco stand, in my little town. Your videos are so helpful. Thanks a lot.
Did you open it?
Thanks the best simple syrup video on RUclips.
Thank you for doing this!!
Bro great video becuase here in southamerica almost everyone boil the water with the sugar and its a mess with the process and offcorse the expend in electricity, so this looks like a great option to try!!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the video!
Thank you. My snow cone business opens in two weeks and these videos are helping a lot
Hi, just wondering how your business is going so far. Did you have a store front or a cart?
Well any good news?
Guess she isn't doing snow cones
This is exactly what I been looking for . How to mix everything 😅
Thank you very mu h for sharing these videos. What type of cones do you use the coconut cream topping on. THANKS
I was curious how you make your Sugar Free Simple Syrup or Shave Ice Flavors? I was also wondering if you found that any one sugar free sweetener works better than any of the others for Simple Syrup. Thanks again for the informative videos.
I like to see the soft serve ice cream in the snow cones with shave ice video please. Thank you so much.
I was kind of curious where you purchase your buckets at please? I had purchased some but they don't seem to be expanding very well bubble most of them Park thank you in advance
So you don’t warm it at all? All other videos heat up the water and sugar
Will this work with a slush machine and also if your making it to use on the day can you just use the sugar and water??
Could you share your recipe for the sugar free syrup? Thanks
Hello so pretty much the simple syrup is what you mix your regular flavors concentrate into for example bubblegum, cherry, etc? Thanks
Yes, I want to start my own business like him so I know
Hi. I love your videos and it has helped me out. I am starting a shaved ice business this year. When I was looking over the directions from Southern Snow I didn’t see where you had to add the fruit acid and benzoate soda. I didn’t know if that makes the simple syrup last longer by itself or if you do have to put it in the simple syrup to mix it. Sorry trying to make sure I am mixing up my syrups correctly.
Now they have something called preservative. I add 1oz of preservative per gallon of simple syrup.
Southern Snow has a mixing option for 6lbs of sugar per gallon, and they reccommed 6lb for richness and strenght as ice melts(from website)
Have you tried this, or would it be just to sweet?
Thank you
Do you always preserve your simple syrups?
Hi, in my town i cant find liquid preservatives (citric acid and sodium benzoate); however i have found them both in powder. Can i use them? which would be the measures?
Yes but I don’t know the powder measurements.
How much is the total water content in a 5 gallon container ? I wish to make it in a steel vessel not in a plastic container . Please reply .
Basically a 5lb bag of sugar per gallon of water
Hey there! One quick question.... what size bottle is that you used at the end to mix the one ounce of flavor with the simple syrup? The one you showed with the flip top. Thanks!
That is a quart size bottle
How much simply syrup to use for the creamer
Hi where can I purchase all this just bought a snow cone machine for my home have so much family and we love to try different flavors
Id like to know as well. Did you purchase any yet?
Hi! I’m in another country and they don’t sell sodium benzoate. Do you know if this can be done with just citric acid?
I’m not sure what you would use to make it shelf stable. Another option is to mix it without preservatives and refrigerate it
Could you give me the exact measurement, I hope I could open a business too like yours ☺️
How about if I don’t want to make a gallon and only one 16oz water bottle what are the measurements ?
Trying to find this out too. 30 yrs pharmacy and I feel like you'd just divide the recipe into 1/2, 1/4 etc
Where do you get your quart bottles for the flavors? Please answer I’m trying to start a shaved ice business :)
I like hypothermias for shave ice bottles. You can get them on eBay or through their website.
Can you use southern snows preservative instead of using the fruit acid and Benzoate Soda?
Yes I believe that is what is in their preservative.
what is the exact shelf life of it please?
Why do you like the Southern Snow concentrate better than shave ice supplies (HTK) concentrate?
Good Price and more flavors to choose from.
Thank's for the info.
If I use a different brand of syrup will I use the same measurements?
Yes
How long does the simple syrup last on the shelve since you make a few of them at the same time?
Depends on temperature. Ours stand is in an air conditioned building. It will last all season and some.
How many days this syrup can storing? Where did get southern snow syrup . I am from india
With citric acid and sodium benzoate it can be stored for up to a year.
So to make 2 gallons at a time just double the amounts you said in the video?
Yes
I have a question. I follow these instruction with southern snow products.. after a day or two my simple syrup starts smelling skunky! This cant be normal.. I use the sodium benzoate and fruit acid. Any experience with this issue? Also my shop is kept at 69-70 degrees
I haven’t had this problem. Have you tried contacting southern snow.
I havent yet. Im using generic walmart sugar, one oz of B.soda and a 1/4 oz fruit acid... maybe its the cheap sugar?
Also. Do you have a recipe for sugar free simple syrup? Im having a real hard time finding bulk nutra sweet and wondering if theres a good formula for splenda or steeva
Is fruit acid a necessity when mixing the simple syrup? Or can I just use the Benzonate?
No benzoate is enough
why do you need fruit acid the lady at southern snow said it does not preserve the life of the syrup just the benzoate soda does
sugar free verson?
What does the fruit acid and benzoate soda do?
Preservative to make it shelf stable
could you do a video of you operating your cash register system? That would help me alot!
Yes i will try to get one on in the next few days.
@@thehaddocks thank you so much!
What is your cost per gallon after the flavoring is added?
I Figure its less than a dollar per quart so less than four dollars per gallon.
So, I thought you had to boil the sugar mix?
I never have. If you shake it well by the next day it is completely dissolves.
Why do you prefer that flavoring brand and have you tried Snowie syrups? Ty
Half the price of snowie and tastes great.
The Haddocks ok ty
Do you still use fruit acid in your mixture? And use this recipe for every flavor? Noticed southern snow says (makes flavor more tart) so wanted to clarify. Appreciate ya!
We don’t anymore. We just use there preservative.
@@thehaddocks appreciate the reply! Watched all your shaved ice videos numerous times lol
Does using the preservative cancel out using the fruit acid and b. Soda?
can u use citric acid instead of fruit acid ? what would be a good replacement for fruit acid in your opinion
Yes same thing
Once I make my Simple Syrup, how long must it sit before I can add the concentrate?
Just until the sugar is dissolved you will know when the simple syrup is clear
I went by these measurements but my syrup was still very watery any advice on making it thicker
Mine is thick. It takes a few hours for all the syrup to dissolve into the water.
holy crap 10 cup of sugar . is that super sweet?
It's like a popsicle its diluted by the ice.
How often do you have to make the gallon sized simple syrup? How many do you go through in a month?
We make a 2-4gallons a day.
Can you only make it with water and auger?
Yes you can make simple syrup with just water and sugar. The citric acid and sodium benzoate make it shelf stable. If you don’t add them the syrup will go bad pretty quickly.
how many quart bottles of syrup can that 1 gallon of simple syrup make
Four quart bottles or like 3 and a half
I think that with the Southern Snows concentrates that they already put citric acid in theirs.
Some do have citric acid. Some don’t. Also your simple syrup won’t be shelf stable without citric acid.
Is the acid necessary? In my information packet from southern snow it only says to add the benzoate soda. It said that the acid is to be added for the acidic flavors for the extra zing?
@Fuert Neigt without the preservatives it would need to be kept cold at all times to prevent any bacteria buildup. That is the purpose of the soda additive.
Hello thanks for the video.
I ordered concentrated syrup from southern snow. But they told me. I don’t need the fruit acid. Unless I want it sour..
Do your flavors taste sour? Do you believe I need the fruit acid??
Is critic acid and fruit acid, the same thing??
Yes they are the same. You just need the sodium benzoate as a preservative
I don’t think the 1/4oz per gallon of syrup makes it sour
So you believe I should get the fruit acid??
Tried ordering the fruit acid cause I came back to your video but they had already shipped out my order.
But shipping is outrageous with minimum $35
One more question. How long does your syrup last after mixing everything together. Water, sugar, sodium benzoate and flavor??
Question
Where can I find the container you use to freeze ice
Thank you in advance
I’ve really enjoyed your channel
The containers are made by berry plastics. The company I used to get them from is out of business. I’ve seen them on Amazon but if you can find a place that sells a whole case you would be better off.
Where can I get the other stuff from?
Southern snow
Do you have to boil the water with sugar
I don’t but I do believe letting it sit at least a day helps all the sugar dissolve. Shaking it works for us. Thanks
Cuanto se le hecha del concentrado de sabor ?
1oz per quart
Is the syrup real thick? Also why not use cornstarch to make it thick.
Could You put the Recipe in the Comments?
Thanks!
Yes 10 cups of Sugar, 1/4 oz citric acid, 1 oz sodium benzoate.
Where do you get the products?
Here is a video of where I buy everything ruclips.net/video/iAGlLbNT8kQ/видео.html
Where do you buy the oreservatives? benzoat
Southern snow. This video shows where I buy everything for my shave ice business:

Do you keep your syrup room temp
Yes
Have you ever used alchol in your syrups
I haven’t
@@thehaddocks i been teying to figure out how to make adult shaved ice.
How much of water?
Add ingredients listed and then fill the rest with water until it makes 1 gallon.
Hello,
Once sealed, do you have to keep it stored in the refrigerator after opening?
No, If you put sodium benzoate and citric acid they make it shelf stable.
Thank you!
@@thehaddocks for how long ?~
I'm just starting out and was wondering if a PUR water filtration system would work for now ?
I think it should work just fine.
Why is some shaved ice flavors not so sweet ? There’s a few stands here and it seems the flavors aren’t very sweet like it’s watered down or something
Can you link where you buy citric acid, sodium benzoate, and the concentrates? Thanks!
Southern Snow
Amazon
How much does this save you on cost, and increase your margins ?
What do you mean? How much does it save me vs buying already made syrup?
@@thehaddocks kind of , like does it really change the profit margins vs worth the time ?
@@sbrsportsbook4358 Yes it hardly takes any time plus the main benefit is the quality. Your customers will taste the quality difference. You will sell more concentrate on quality and value of product.
@@thehaddocks I live in Illinois . Im wondering if you think the flavoring is as good as the fancy Hawaiian Shaved Ice brand. Like do you think it will be exactly as pure, but cheaper just because Southern Snow Spends less on their marketing and more on the taste quality of their products. Also , shipping will have to be worthwhile, this link below they offer free shipping on orders of over 100

oooops , wrong site, I meant this site

Thanks
Where did you get the quart containers?
Hypothermias
what type of sugar do you prefer?
Just cane sugar
Do u make money off of the snow cone portion of business. Can't imagine much if you include the portion of space and electricity used from your shop. Maybe, but I can't see how. I love the idea, but how is it feasile?
Yes we do really well with the shave ice side. Because of our lower shave ice prices we bring more traffic into our shop. The shave ice also has excellent margins and where my only expenses are labor, cups and syrups we do well. The shave ice area only takes up about 70 square feet of the 2000 square feet. During slow times we only need 1 person to run both the store and the shave ice side. During summer we have 1 person on each side.
@@thehaddocks could u survive with shaved ice business alone? Thanks
@@prettypumpkin6891 No, I would need probably 4 stands to make a good living. It is good extra money. I'm not involved as much as i used to be so i make a little less but it is pretty automated now.
I’m trying to understand on why do you need to make simple syrup? Or sugar water. Like can’t you just buy Italian soda syrup from and store and use that? Why’s sugar water needed in this business
We make our own syrups to have a better quality product.
What exactly do you think Italian soda syrup from the store is made of? Sugar, water, flavorings & preservatives - just like he made! 😶😐😩
@@mizzpoetricssometimes high fructose syrup is used instead of sugar.
@@thehaddocks Can I ask where you purchase your supplies from?
What is the shelf life on the syrups?
With sodium benzoate they can last at least a few months.
I'm a diebetic.
Womp womp
You're supposed to add the sodium benzoate, and then the citric acid so they don't coagulate .
Thanks
The Haddocks you're welcome
Does the pre mixed ready to use syrup need the preservatives added to it after it is opened?
I believe RTU syrup is shelf stable and has preservatives
Dude, have you ever used the powdered preservatives in your simple syrup and if so what are the measurements?
I haven’t. I’ve always used liquid preservatives from southern snow.
If you don’t add any thickener to the simple syrup, your syrups must be pretty watery.
The sugar thickens it up to the right consistency. Our ice is really fluffy so we actually have more trouble getting the syrup to go all the way to the bottom. We poke holes in the ice so the syrup can make it all the way to the bottom.
@@thehaddocks Thank you very much. Great channel. Blessings. 🙏👍☘️
Do you ever make SUGAR FREE SYRUP and does it sell like SUGAR SURUP ?
Yes we have a couple flavor options that are sugar free. It doesn’t sell as much as sugar but it is nice to have the option for those who need it.
Do you have the measurements and what you use when making sugar free simple syrup?
