Italian Ice




As many of you know, I'm allergic to the moo. Drink too much and I get hives along with the normal signs of lactose intolerance. Usually I keep sorbet around, but I'm visiting Mama Bear for this first part of the break, and that isn't an option. So, I threw this together quick during out upstate NY heat wave today, and it was wonderful.

You need:

2 BIG ice cube trays
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 cup juice (I used the cheapo brand of Pomegranate cocktail with a smidge of lemon juice; the stronger the better)

Mix sugar and water together until completely dissolved in a medium sized saucepan. Then DO NOT STIR AGAIN.

On stove top, bring to boil, and then boil exactly 5 minutes.

Take off heat and add juice.

Pour mixture in ice cube trays (I used my measuring glass with it's nice little spout to keep the mess down) and let freeze 3-5 hours minimum.

Pop out cubes into container,one tray at a time, and mash with a potato masher after each one.

Bon Appetite!
