Lemon ice

Pucker up. It's refreshing. I have tried this with lemon zest. I prefer it without, my husband likes it with. If you like it less sweet, use 1 cup sugar. Makes about 5-6 cups. 2 1/2 c. Water, divided 1 1/4 c. Sugar 1 c. Lemon juice or juice of 3 large lemons (ok if it's over a little) Boil 1 cup of water using a teapot or microwave. In a large bowl, add sugar and hot water. Once sugar is dissolved, add 1 1/2 c. Cool water, lemon juice. Let cool in the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place in an ice cream maker or in a freezer safe container or large baggie. For those who are using a container, freeze overnight. Break up larger chunks. You can eat it as is or puree in a blender in small batches to get a smoother constancy. Refreeze. If hardens too much break it up with a fork.
