ITALIAN LEMON ICE



Italian Lemon Ice image

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!

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 7m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups hot water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed
1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 quart water
3/4 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed
1 egg white
1/4 cup sugar
3 ounces white rum

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!
