Notes
Disclaimer: Always use freshly fallen, clean snow for this recipe. Avoid snow that has been sitting on the ground, collected under trees or gutters, or exposed to roads, pets or debris. If the snow looks discolored or has been sitting for a while, it’s best to skip it. As with any raw ingredient, use your best judgment and don't use it if you’re unsure about the snow’s quality.
