*Love this for crazy-hot days. I tweaked it a bit though and instead of just boiling the sugar and water for 1 minute, I boil it for several minutes into a simple syrup... makes it thicker. Also, if you have a Sonic nearby, pick up a bag of ice... you can either pour the syrup over the ice as is or shave the ice. Nothing beats the amazingness of Sonic ice. When Ally was little and used to have her snow cone stand, I'd make several different flavors at once and pour each into a plastic squeeze bottle. Made for easy access/pouring and clean up.
