It's an Italian-inspired frozen treat that's basically sweetened shaved ice that you can customize with any flavor (and/or booze) of your choice. whether you've got a couple hours to spare while it sets in your freezer,you'll be on your way to an incredibly refreshing and delightful dessert you'll want to do on the hottest Summer days.
