It couldn't be easier to whip up this Italian ice with a crystalline texture. All you need are simple syrup and fresh fruit juice -- try watermelon, grapefruit, or apple.

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups fruit juice, strained
1 cup Simple Syrup with Flavoring Ideas

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a deep-sided metal pan, and place in freezer, uncovered, until it is nearly set, at least 4 hours, whisking mixture every hour.
  • Remove mixture from freezer, and scrape surface with the tines of a fork until it is the texture of shaved ice. (Mixture can be frozen overnight without whisking; remove from freezer in the morning, and let sit at room temperature about 10 minutes to allow it to slightly soften before scraping with a fork.) Serve.
