1. Collect snow: Gather snow immediately after a fresh snowfall. Use only clean, white snow from an undisturbed area (e.g., backyard away from roads).
2. Mix base: In a large bowl, whisk milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt (if using) until sugar dissolves.
3. Add snow: Gradually fold in snow, 2 cups at a time, gently stirring until light and creamy (like soft-serve). Do not overmix—you want it airy!
4. Serve immediately in chilled bowls. Top with sprinkles or a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired.

💡 Important Tips:
– Use snow within 1 hour of falling for best texture and safety.
– Not all snow is safe—avoid yellow, gray, or compacted snow.
– For a richer version, substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
