Best Snow Cream Recipe
When the snow comes, I always think back to my childhood memories of my dad. He would skim the top part of the snow off the car after a long snowfall, and my mom would make the best snow cream recipe.
When I was a child, I lived in Georgia, and we did not get much snow at all. It was always a treat to have snow on the ground. Our schools would call off if there was even a hint that snow was coming. After it had been snowing for a little while, Dad would go out and scoop a thin layer off the top of the car. He would then bring it in for Mom to make the best snow cream.
They would always tell me to wait until the snow purified the air and then get the snow that had fallen last. I never had my mom write down how she made the snow cream, but I have tried many different snow cream recipes and I think I have figured out the snow cream recipe and it is closest to what she would make.

When I was growing up in Georgia, it was very rare for us to have snow. As I said, the snow was so rare that our schools would let out even if there was a hint of a snow chance. So, once every 3-5 years that we got snow, snow cream was a huge treat.I just could not resist sharing what I think is the best snow cream recipe there is. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did. (and still do)
Do not forget to take care of your skin during the winter as well. I love using essential oils to help keep my skin healthy.
