Here's a cool treat for summer that does not require an ice cream maker. This looks great in margarita glasses or other fancy glasses.

2 quarts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemons, zest of

Directions

1
Chill a rectangular metal baking pan (15 x 9 x 2) in the freezer.
2
Combine all ingredients in a blender or a large food processor until sugar dissolves (~1minute).
3
Pour the mixture into the baking pan and freeze about 30 minutes, or until crystalls begin to form.
4
Stir the mixture with a fork to loosen crystals; the goal is to evenly mix the crystals in the liquid.
5
Break up any large clumps.
6
place the pan back in the freezer and repeat the above step about every 20 minutes until the consistency is that of crushed ice (usually about 2 hours, depending on the freezer).
7
Serve immediately.
8
This can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer.

This is a really nice recipe. I found it easier to pour the mix into a large Ziploc bag, then onto the baking sheet. I have too many kids going in and out of the freezer at this time of year to risk a spill.
