July and August are the hottest part of the summer up here in the north, so I like to find delicious, healthy treats that will cool us off at the same time. A good lemon ice will do all three, kids will like the tangy flavor, they’re getting healthy citrus and vitamin C while they’re cooling off at the same time.
I have a simple recipe I use for my summer lemon ice.
Lemon Ice
1/2 cup sugar
2 lemons
zest from one lemon
About one cup of water (t0 taste)
Mix all the ingredients together in a medium sauce pan, and heat and mix until the sugar dissolves. Then pour the mixture into ice cube trays, and stick in the freezer until frozen. Reserve a little of the mixture to pour over the ice when you crush it. Once the mixture is frozen into ice cubes, put them into a food processor, or blender to crush with the reserved lemon mixture. Enjoy!
