- Add the ice to a blender and crush it. Add the ice to your cup until you have a dome shape on top. Drizzle the syrup on top. ¡Buen Provecho!
Notes
- Sugar free piragua- You have to elimanate the white sugar to make a syrup sugar free. Use granulated stevia or splenda. Use half of what you need of white sugar.
- Ice- When measuring how much ice I need, I just double the cup I am using and fill it up with ice twice.
- Vanilla extract- You can also use a vanilla bean by adding it in while the milk is cooking.
- Storing- You store the syrup in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.
