      Use an electric juicer and you can juice the whole lemon all in one without having to peel anything and you get all the juice without having to squeeze all the lemons by hand and nothing is wasted. I also don't use sugar, I use an apple or two to sweeten it, apples are a natural sweetener and can be used to sweeten just about anything in a juicer.

    *Caution:* I've never tried this recipe, but I have done this method to make ice cream. Basically, to anybody who doesn't have an ice cream maker: you could be able to make this with a food processor or a blender. You should freeze the lemonade base until solid, then put it in the processer/blender and let it do its thing. Put it in a container and freeze. Voila!
    This is how I make homemade ice cream, and it comes out great every time. I haven't tried this recipe, but I think it would work the same.

      @GraceLieu Рік тому +11

      @@_Chocolate_123 No, it doesn't. I blend it for about 1-2 minutes too, so it doesn't melt. When you blend it, it becomes like a smoothie consistency. You can also put the blender in the freezer or refrigerator to make it colder. I've used this method a lot, and it's always worked for me!

    If you can do the over night version: zest the lemons into a container with sugar, mix or depending on the size of the zest rub it into the sugar, seal it air tight and let it sit for 24 hours. Then make a simple sirup from it and follow the instruction of our host.

      @@kellymckenzie16 you will still need to dissolve the sugar to create simple syrup, you can do this in a pot over low heat stirring until all the sugar has been dissolved, just be careful to not caramelize the sugar when you do it this way. The microwave step in this recipe is just a cleaner way to make the syrup with a lower chance of caramelizing the sugar.

    Pyrex/Anchor Hocking have many different sized measuring glasses. The one you were using in the video is intended for soups that can be ladled in/out then poured once it gets below the half/quarter mark. Note if you pour from a measuring glass with lips on the spout there’s no spilling unless you rush it. I’ve learned this from the many spills in my history transferring liquids. Great video. I can’t wait to try Italian ice!

    The spout in those glass pitcher things do work, but the liquid needs to all be within the spout. This means you need to pour slowly so it doesn't go beyond the spout. If it even goes beyond slightly, the liquid goes everywhere. I had to learn this the hard way myself.

    One of the highlights of our Honeymoon was walking up into the hills behind Amalfi then stopping off at this small place for a drink. We tried the granita there and it was divine! Just what we needed on a hot day, for the rest of the trip in the region we kept trying to hunt out the best granita but nothing came close to that first one. Sadly I don't have an ice cream machine to replicate it at home, we've tried it the manual way and as you say, you get massive ice crystals.

    I like the quick simple syrup infusion method alot here. Its a different way to make oleo saccharum which is pretty key to a fantastic lemonade.
    If tIme is on your side, you can make things a little easier by just zesting the lemons, then leaving them in pure sugar overnight. You'll end up with a concentrated version of the lemon simple syrup, that requires less fuss but more time. You can do this method to just about any fruit or veggie.

    Yeah, I grew up on Taylor street in Chicago. The paper cup is essential for authenticity but back then, it wasn't unusual to find and occasional seed or some pulp in your Italian ice. It's how you knew it was fresh, homemade and on a hot Chicago summer day, you didn't mind it a bit. Unfortunately, I now live 80 miles south of the city and have to make the pilgrimage to have some. Now, I know how to make my own so, thank you for this easy to follow recipe.

Now his grandson makes it for “Frank’s Italian Ice”. I think they add Xanthan Gum for consistency. It never freezes solid and can always be scooped out like ice cream without the creaminess.
