Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Remember to wash and dry them thoroughly prior before using.
  • To make the syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water. Bring to a boil while stirring regularly until the sugar has dissolved completely. This will typically take 2-3 minutes.
  • Steep the lemon zest in the hot syrup for at least 30 minutes. Longer steeping time will result in a more intense flavor.
  • Add fresh lemon juice once the syrup has cooled slightly. This will prevent the flavor from becoming too harsh.
  • Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, create a delicious granita by freezing the mixture in a covered dish. Every hour, take it out and whisk it vigorously to break up ice crystals.

Conclusion:

This classic lemon ice recipe, said to be a favorite of former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, is a refreshing and zesty treat that is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day.
