Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, water, and sugar.
  2. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. This will take about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  4. Once cooled, pour the mixture into a shallow dish or an ice cream maker.
  5. If using a shallow dish, place it in the freezer and let it set for about 30 minutes.
  6. After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours. This will help create a smooth and icy texture.
  7. If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the mixture until it reaches a slushy consistency. This will typically take about 20-30 minutes.
  8. Once the lemon ice has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  9. Once firm, scoop the lemon ice into serving bowls or glasses.
  10. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or mint leaves, if desired.
  11. Serve and enjoy the refreshing and tangy lemon ice!
