About
I am part Mexican and I love these treats.
As a child and teen my summers were filled with wait and longing. Everyday during the summer as the Respas Man came down my street. We children would wait to hear the faint honk honk of his horn and the jingling of his cart bells. We would rush out with the dollars that our Mom or relative had given us and get this cool tasty treat.
Time is about one hour or less depending on if you have to make the syrups or you have them handy.

Step 3
In Mexico, California, Texas and the Southwestern United States, a finely shaved and syruped ice is called a respa, or respado. Raspar is Spanish for "scrape"; hence respado means, roughly, "scraped ice." Respas come in a wide range of fruit flavors and classic Mexican Flavors.
The following are flavors that are normally found on his cart and come from my ethnic background.
<b>The Respado Mans Cart of many flavors.:</b>The Kool-Aid Fruit Flavors: Mix your favorite packet of UNSWEETENED Kool-aid to the boiling Simple Syrup Mixture, bottle then cool.
Leche(Milk): sweetened milk with cinnamon.
