Hello, everyone! Taya here. Today, we will be teaching you how to make delectable Granizado a recipe we discovered in Costa Rica. These treats are immensely popular along Costa Rican beaches. Are you ready to begin? Great, let's dive in!

This drink can be found on various beaches and has become a popular treat for its delicious flavor and unique textures. In this tutorial, we will be sharing the essentials needed to recreate this captivating concoction at home, as well as offering some tips for optimal enjoyment. Be prepared to be captivated by this refreshing blend of syrup, condensed milk, powdered milk, and ice.

To make Granizado, you will require a syrup of choice, condensed milk, powdered milk, and ice. Instead of using a cheese grater like the ones found on beaches, we will be utilizing the Ninja blender for shredding ice. 

First things first - grab your Ninja blender and take the ice out of the freezer. Ensure that the blender is secure before adding the ice. We usually measure the ice using a suitable container, depending on how many servings we are making. Next, fill the container with ice, dump it in the blender, and repeat for each serving. Put the top on the blender and press the button to get started.
