Ingredients

4 Tablespoons Yuzu Juice (add as much or as little as you prefer for flavor)
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup water

Directions

In a large saucepan or pot over medium heat, add in water and sugar.
Once sugar dissolves, add Yuzu Juice. Turn down heat and simmer (about 7-10 minutes, the more time it simmers the more powerful the Yuzu flavor will be).
Once you’ve gotten your desired flavor, transfer Yuzu syrup into a bowl and cool.
Traditionally Kakigori requires a Kakigori machine, which is used to shave ice. However, if you do not posses a Kakigori machine, you can use a hand ice shaver, blender or food processor.
Once you are finished shaving the ice, drizzle your Yuzu Syrup over the ice.
This Kakigori is a perfect treat for warm summer days or nights!
