Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
- 4 lemons
- ½ C granulated sugar
- 1 C cold water
Instructions:
- Begin the preceding night by squeezing the lemons into a strainer formed by placing a coffee filter in a strainer.
- Strain the lemon juice into a small bowl containing the cold water – this is a very slow (drop-by-drop) process.
- Add the sugar the next morning and mix very well with a wooden spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour into a tin or aluminum pan, then place the pan in the freezer.
- Let rest for about five hours, breaking up the solid layer of ice which forms at least once every hour.
- Remove the pan from the freezer and cut the ice into pieces with a knife.
- Place the ice pieces in an ice crusher or into a blender running at low speed. The ice should form a smooth consistent texture of imperceptible grains (almost like ice cream – no large grains or chunks).
- Transfer to individual serving glasses.
