How to make snow cream

We love to make fresh snow cream in the winter.  The key to the success of snow cream is using fresh snow.  We also like to use flavored milk to change the flavor.  You can use strawberry or chocolate milk and make flavored snow cream.  I put a big bowl out on our deck and let the snow fall right into it.  Hands down this is one of the best memories that I have as a child is making and eating snow cream with my Mom and now I can pass the same tradition onto my son.
