Italian Ice - Can you make it at home?

Question

I love Italian Lemonade (Ice) here in Chicago. The stand I got to the most is Marios Lemonade stand in Little Italy. I was wondering if Italian ice is something one can make on their own?

Answer 1

Try this, it's easy and tastes authentic.

ITALIAN LEMON ICE

8 to 10 lemons

1 tbsp. grated lemon peel

1 to 1 1/2 c. lemon juice

8 c. water

1/2 tsp. salt

For a difference in flavor, add 2 or more cups of another fruit that is sliced, diced or pureed. Such as strawberries, cherries, watermelon, raspberries.

In saucepan, bring to a boil 2 cups water and 2 cups sugar. Let cool. Then mix together in an ice cream freezer as you would regular ice cream.

Enjoy!

Answer 2

yeah it's just a matter of shaving the frozen contents properly.
