Lemon Ice
Lemon Ice is a frozen citrus dessert made by dissolving sugar in boiling water, then mixing in fresh lemon juice and zest before freezing. The mixture is periodically whisked to create a light, fluffy texture similar to a granita. Optional garnishes like mint leaves and blueberries add freshness and color. This frozen treat delivers bright lemon flavor and refreshing coolness.
