With the current heatwave in full force over the weekend, we found ourselves seeking comfort at the local asian marketplace, where we treated to the joys of shaved ice! This simple yet satisfying treat can also be had at home, with a slew of shaved ice makers currently on the market.

This super cute Panda model is the standard manual shaved ice maker that can be found in most asian markets.

However, Salton offers an easy to use electric version, with simple push-down activation.

Now just add some condensed milk and fresh fruit, or splash the flavored syrup of your choice, and you're on your way to beating this summer heat.
