Italian Lemon Ice Recipe

Perfect refreshing treat on a hot summer day!

Ingredients For Homemade Italian Lemon Ice Recipe:

3 lemons
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/4 cup sugar

Directions On How To Make Italian Lemon Ice At Home:

Squeeze all the juice out of the lemons.  I cut each lemon into 8 parts, then squeeze each piece – this way it yields the most juice :)

Combine water with sugar in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for several minutes, until the water is hot.  Stir to dissolve the sugar.

Pour the sugar water and lemon juice into a 9-inch baking dish, and stir to combine.  Put it in the freezer.

After 1 hour, rake it with fork to break up the ice crystals.  Repeat raking with fork every hour until the desired consistency is reached (usually around 3-4 hours from the time you first put it in the freezer).
