Still stumped for what to order? Try at least one of the following options from the Peace Love Shave Ice menu for an unforgettable experience:
Customer Favorite Shave Ice
The Customer Favorite Shave Ice mixes three tropical fruit syrups – guava, passion fruit, and mango – for a sweet, fruity flavor. Called “tropical heaven in a cup,” this flavor combination has become a favorite of customers for a reason. Try it on its own or dress it up with a scoop of ice cream or a sprinkle of li hing (dried salted plum) powder. Li hing powder is a salty, sweet flavor many people sprinkle over fresh fruits, such as pineapples and mangos. Its flavor works well with the tropical fruit tastes of the Customer Favorite shave ice.
Hula Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Hula Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches include Roselani ice cream between a pair of handmade cookies. Flavors include macadamia-nut chocolate chip cookies with chocolate ice cream, chocolate coconut cookies with coconut ice cream, Kona coffee chocolate chip cookies with Kona mud pie ice cream, and chocolate chip cookies with mint chocolate chip ice cream. These large, flavorful treats will satisfy you when you want something to accompany your shave ice or for a different type of frozen dessert.
Thai Tea
If you love the sweet and creamy flavor of Thai tea, get it in shave ice form. The Thai Tea Shave Ice begins with brewed Thai tea made with organic sugar cooked down into a thick syrup. This syrup gives the shave ice its flavor. To top it off and further enhance the flavors of the Thai Tea, you get a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk over the ice. This cool and creamy treat has all the flavors of strong, sweet tea, spices, and thick condensed milk that make Thai tea a favorite drink.
After a long day at the beach, stop by Peace Love Shave Ice for a great way to cool off with one of the many flavors on the menu. Or create a new taste combination by choosing up to three syrups and any add-ons for your personalized shave ice. No matter what you order, you’ll agree that Peace Love Shave Ice in Kihei deserves its award for the best shave ice on Maui.
