RECIPE OF THE DAY! LEMON ICE

What a summer treat on a hot day. This tangy treat can be made in adults-only and kid-friendly (no booze, just juice) versions.
Make this in advance. To have enough time to freeze this dessert, it’s as simple as can be: water and sugar are boiled, mixed with lemon juice and lemon zest and frozen until ready to serve.

Makes 6 servings

3 cups water

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup each lemon juice and limoncello (lemon liqueur), or 1 cup lemon juice

1 Tbsp grated lemon zest

Garnish: mint leaves

1. Mix water and sugar in a 2-qt saucepan; bring to boil over high heat. Boil uncovered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice, limoncello (if using) and lemon zest.

2. Pour into a 13 x 9-in. baking pan. Freeze 1 hour; stir. Cover; freeze 2 hours or overnight until firm.

3. To serve: Scrape and scoop into serving dishes and top with mint.
