How to Make Arabian Orange Ice

1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water.
2. 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.
3. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool slightly. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any impurities.
4. 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.
5. Pour the mixture into a glass or stainless steel bowl. Freeze until partially frozen but still slushy (approximately 2-3 hours).
6. Use an electric mixer or food processor to thoroughly beat the partially frozen mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
7. Pour the mixture into your desired container (ice cream container or freezer-safe dish).
8. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the ice is completely firm.
