3/4 cup lemon juice

1 lemon, zested

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves

5 pounds crushed ice (about 6 ice trays)

Directions

  1. Combine the syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and mint in a small pitcher. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
  2. Shave the ice by placing 2 to 3 cups crushed ice at a time in a food processor and running the machine until the ice is finely shaved. Store shaved ice in a large re-sealable plastic bag in the freezer for up to 1 day.

This is not Italian ice and is not even close to being Italian ice!  I will post one soon that is the most generic recipe.  My advice for people who want Italian Ice is to invest in a quality gelato maker.  In this way, you can make Sherbets, Sorbets, Gelato, Fruit Slushy and Ices.<br />
