I still live in Havertown - never moved more than 2 hours from Philly - but this was a great read nonetheless! I stumbled on your post trying to describe wooder ice to a friend in texas.

I'm from a couple hours outside of Philly, but Rosati's was still a staple...when I moved to Philly's, Rita's was the treat of choice. And always Tastykakes ;) Feels like I’m back home!

Rosati's is still the best I've ever had, including Italian ices in Italy. We used to walk up to the sliding window at the corner of the building on Madison and Glenwood. What a lot of us loved doing was buying a soft pretzel to eat with the water ice and dip the pretzel in the water ice and scoop out some and take a bite. Awesome! I never cared much for the lemon flavor because I didn't like the chunks of lemon in it, but loved the cherry, watermelon, chocolate - they were all good! I also remember seeing the tanker trucks pull up (looked just like gasoline trucks) full of syrup for the manufacturing process. I miss this town a lot, and if any of you ever go by there, DO NOT forget Walt's Steaks for a cheese steak just a few blocks from Rosati's on the Pike!

My first job was working that window at the Rosati Water Ice Factory in Clifton Heights, PA. It is amazing and I would love to figure out a way to get some here on the west coast. I have found that no one west of Philly seems to know what water ice is...sad. And WaWa...have to go into one on my trips back to Philly...really, a great store! Wow, Rosati’ Water Ice.

We made this as kids (about 65 years ago) and we used an old fashion ice cream machine with the hand crank. we would put it in the can with the paddle and pack the outside of the can with crushed ice and rock salt to melt the ice as it was churning and you could tell when it was almost done because it got harder to turn the crank. Then you keep checking to see if its done... Use the recipe as shown and tweek the flavor before freezing.

I really wish I knew how to make it! I don't, sadly. My guess is they may use an ice cream churner-like system? Or they add air somehow because it definitely is lighter! Good luck and let me know if anyone let's go of that secret recipe! Hi, Scarlet! I really wish I knew how to make it! I don’t, sadly. My guess is they may use an ice cream churner-like system?
