Zubereitung von Italian Water Ice Lemon
- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Boil for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool completely to room temperature. This is crucial to prevent the ice from becoming icy.
- While the syrup cools, zest and juice 2 large lemons. Add the lemon zest and juice to the cooled syrup, stirring gently to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
- Place in the freezer. Once the mixture begins to freeze around the edges (about 30 minutes), remove it from the freezer.
- Using a fork, vigorously scrape and stir the ice crystals from the edges into the center, making sure to incorporate any settled lemon zest. Return to the freezer.
- Repeat step 6 every 30-45 minutes for the first 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is mostly frozen but still slushy.
- Once the mixture reaches a slushy consistency, cover the dish and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set.
- To serve, use a sharp-edged spoon or ice cream scoop to scrape thin layers from the top of the frozen water ice. The sharper the edge, the better the shavings!
