Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup lime juice
Directions
Fill a large bowl with ice water. Place another bowl inside so it's surrounded on all sides by the ice water. In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. When sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and add lime juice. Pour into bowl sitting in the ice bath to cool lime mixture, about 15 minutes. Pour mixture into a 10 by 12-inch baking dish that's sitting on a sheet tray and put in the freezer. After 1 1/2 hours, remove from freezer and scrape the ice with a fork, being sure to mix the softer center with the more frozen outer edges. Put back into the freezer for another 1 1/2 hours. Before serving, scrape again using the fork.

My Family and I loved it..it was cool and refreshing! I did have to change it up a little using lemon juice instead of the lime because it was what I had at the time. Next time I think I will try 1/2 cup less water and adding 1 cup of the lemon/lime juice it was a little sweeter than regular Italian Ice. :

This recipe is simple to make and is so refreshing. I can't wait to try it again, but with lemon; or maybe I'll add mint leaves to the lime mixture. YUMMMMM!!!!!!
