How to Make Sharbat Orange Ice

  1. Juice 4 large oranges and 2 lemons (about 2 cups total juice).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the cooled sugar syrup, orange and lemon juices, and 1 tablespoon orange blossom water.
  4. Pour the mixture into shallow freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays. Cover with foil.
  5. Freeze for 30 minutes. Then, remove and gently break up the ice crystals with a fork.
  6. Repeat steps 5 and 6 two more times (total freeze time approximately 90 minutes), allowing 30 minutes between each breaking and refreezing.
  7. Transfer the Sharbat Orange Ice to the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
