Instructions
To make the Moscato Snow Cone Syrup
In a non-reactive pot over medium-high heat, bring the Moscato to a boil.
Continue to boil until the wine has reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely melted and thoroughly incorporated.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly until the syrup has thickened. About 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
To make the Fresh Strawberry Snow Cone Syrup
While the Moscato is cooking down, combine the water and the remaining 1 cup of sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, frequently stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set the syrup aside to cool slightly.
Combine the prepared strawberries and syrup together in a blender and blend until smooth.
Transfer both syrups to containers with lids. Allow the syrups to cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To assemble Strawberry Moscato Snow Cones
