This refreshing frozen treat is easy to make and with a wonderfully bright, light and tart lemon flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup sugar or a little more if you prefer less tart
- ¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- lemon optional, to taste, zest ½ - 1
Instructions
- Place the water, sugar, lemon juice and zest, if using, in a small pan. Warm over a medium heat until it at most reaches a simmer (don't boil), stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool. You can speed this up after a few minutes by placing in the fridge.
- Once cool, strain the mixture, if you prefer not to have the zest in there, and pour into in a shallow container such as a loaf tin. Place the container in the freezer and take it out at roughly 30 minute intervals. When you take it out, use a fork to break up the ice crystals, pulling them in from the edge of the container. Once broken up evenly, re-freeze and repeat after another 30 minutes.
- Once the mixture is close to completely frozen, fluff up one last time then scoop into glasses to serve.
