It is so easy to prepare it’s a common snack prepared by mom back home since we were kids. Of course, freshly plucked from dad’s banana trees. How fun can it get especially during hot summer days? It’s like working real hard and getting rewarded. You need shaved ice, right? Remember this kitchen tool that works like a hand planer? Pangkaskas ng yelo.

I tried many, many times, sipping nectar from santan flowers lalo na pag naglalaro kami nang bahay bahayan nung kapitbahay namin. I cherish those moments. Those were the days!
