Shave ice reaches the UK |

Having swept the Far East and more recently the USA, shave ice products are now available in the UK under the brand name Hawaiian Ice.
Shave ice is produced by a specialised machine - being sold under exclusive licence from Shave Ice Ltd in the UK - which shaves ice cubes into the consistency of snow.
This is then collected in a ‘flower cup’ and flavoured with a variety of syrups to make a refreshing and colourful product which is eaten with a straw-spoon.
Making Hawaiian Ice involves putting ice cubes into the machine, waiting about 10 seconds for the shaving to take place and then introducing the flavours straight from the bottle.
The recommended price is between £1.30 and £3.00, depending on size and the number of flavours.
Hawaiian Ice will be competing with traditional ice creams, iced lollies and slush drinks and Shave Ice Ltd is initially aiming at mobile traders, full time or seasonal caterers and managers of leisure venues.
There are three different starter packages to choose from.
