Lemon ice is an easy and refreshing summer treat. I use lemon zest, lemon juice, and the classic Italian granita technique to makes this. I love the contrast between that light texture and bright, vibrant flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cold water
- 0.88 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions

1
Dissolve sugar in water in a pot over medium heat, whisking while water heats up. As soon as sugar dissolves and water is clear, remove pan from heat. While water is still warm, add lemon zest. Allow to cool to room temperature before adding lemon juice.

Whisk in lemon juice and lemon extract. Pour into a baking pan about 9x13 inches. Place in freezer until ice starts to form around the edges, about 40 to 45 minutes. Use a fork to stir up ice. Do this every 20 to 30 minutes until lemon ice reaches your preferred texture, 2 ½ to 3 hours.

This crockpot chicken tortilla soup feels healthier with a few simple modifications. I reduce the sodium by using low-sodium chicken broth, and fresh chiles instead of canned. To reduce the fat, I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and vegetable cooking spray instead of oil. And by adding some tasty, fresh toppings, it helps my family get more vitamins.

Salsa Borracha (Drunk Salsa)
Salsa borracha is a special salsa that you can serve with Mexican tacos, fajitas, chicken, or over eggs. I am from Mexico and we love it. Leave the seeds in the peppers for a spicier salsa. Viva Mexico!
