Grace - Heat

Escaping the heat is an idealistic affair.
Something that cannot happen without jumping in pools,splashing in
puddles or screaming air conditions,
However, there is a special recipe that can make the insides cool on a
hot summer day.
The freezing, soft ice and the smooth, cool syrup are the ingredients to
this goodness.
Sipping it through a straw, one drinks the cooled syrup.  On the other
hand, when scooping with the spoon, one consumes the frosty tasteful ice.

Either way, one can enjoy the delicious treat called a snowball.
