How to Make Lemon Ice

  1. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a medium saucepan.
  2. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  5. Place the container in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours, or until the mixture begins to thicken and become slushy.
  6. Continue to freeze, stirring less frequently, until the Lemon Ice reaches your desired consistency (approximately 4-5 total hours).
  7. Garnish each serving with fresh or candied lemon peel.
  8. For an adult twist, drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of cold vodka or limoncello. Enjoy!
