Ingredients

  

  • 1 cup(s) fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
  • 16 floz water
  • 3/4 cup(s) sugar
  • 2 tablespoon(s) grated lemons, zest

Instructions

 

  • Chill a rectangular metal baking pan (15 x 9 x 2) in the freezer.
  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or a large food processor until sugar dissolves (~1minute).
  • Pour the mixture into the baking pan and freeze about 30 minutes, or until crystals begin to form.
  • Stir the mixture with a fork to loosen crystals; the goal is to evenly mix the crystals in the liquid.
  • Break up any large clumps.
  • Place the pan back in the freezer and repeat the above step about every 20 minutes until the consistency is that of crushed ice (usually about 2 hours, depending on the freezer).
  • Serve immediately.
  • This can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
