EASY LEMON ICE
Kathleen takes advantage of convenient pantry items to dress up Lemon Ice. "I concocted this refreshing dessert when I wanted to turn plain lemon ice into something more satisfying. "The raspberry preserves and chocolate syrup reduce the prep time to almost nothing," Kathleen notes. "A sprinkling of slivered almonds makes it even better," she assures.

ITALIAN LEMON ICE
It was very hot and humid here today, so I made some Italian Lemon Ices to help cool off :) I have included both versions because most people have a definite preference for either the "water ices", or the creamier "Roman Style" ices. One of my fondest summer memories as a child, was when my grandmother would "slip" me a dime, so I could go down to the neighborhood Italian bakery and buy a cup of lemon ices....yum!

Steps:
- ***Water Ices*** (serves 4).
- Melt sugar in hot water, add lemon juice and rind.
- Let mixture stand for 5 minutes.
- Strain, place mixture in a freezing tray and freeze, stirring frequently, until it reaches a mushy consistency.
- If you have an electric ice cream machine, pour mixture into machine and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
- ****Roman Style**** (serves 6).
- Combine sugar and water in saucepan, heat until sugar melts.
- Add lemon juice.
- Strain mixture through a very fine sieve.
- Freeze until mushy, stirring frequently.
- Beat egg white until stiff.
- Remove ice mixture from freezer when mushy.
- Add stiffly beaten egg white and 1/4 cup sugar and mix well.
- Add rum and mix.
- Return to freezer and continue to freeze to ices consistency (not solid), stirring often.
- If you have an electric ice cream machine, pour mixture into machine and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
- Add beaten egg white and sugar according to manufacturer's instructions as you would if you were adding additional ingredients (nuts, choc chips, etc) to your ice cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma to the ice. Choose lemons that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- Zest the lemons before juicing: Zesting the lemons before juicing helps to release the essential oils and create a more flavorful ice. Use a fine grater or a microplane to zest the lemons.
- Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor makes it easy to combine all of the ingredients and create a smooth and consistent ice. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can use a whisk, but it will take a bit more time and effort.
- Freeze the ice in a covered container: Freezing the ice in a covered container helps to prevent the ice from absorbing odors from the freezer. You can use a freezer-safe container or a covered baking dish.
- Store the ice for up to 2 weeks: Lemon ice can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. However, it is best to enjoy it within a week or two for the best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Lemon ice is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for hot summer days. It is also a healthy and low-calorie way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make your own lemon ice at home. So next time you are looking for a cool and refreshing snack, give lemon ice a try!
