How to Make Arabian Orange Ice
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Boil for 5-10 minutes to create a simple syrup.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool slightly. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any impurities.
- Juice 4 large oranges and 2 lemons. Finely grate the zest of 2 oranges and 1 lemon. In a large bowl, combine the cooled syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, and zests. Stir well to combine, or blend in a food processor for a smoother texture.
- Pour the mixture into a glass or stainless steel bowl. Freeze until partially frozen but still slushy (approximately 2-3 hours).
- Use an electric mixer or food processor to thoroughly beat the partially frozen mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into your desired container (ice cream container or freezer-safe dish).
- Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the ice is completely firm.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
