2 cups strained fresh lemon juice
2 cups water
2 cups granulated sugar
Recipe
Combine lemon juice with water in a small saucepan. Stir
in the sugar. Set saucepan over moderate heat. Bring to
a boil, stirring constantly, then remove from heat and
cool to room temperature. Pour the lemon mixture into
a shallow pan (an 8-inch square cake tin is ideal) and
set it in your freezer. The ice will be ready in 3 to
6 hours, depending on the efficiency of your freezer.
Because of the high sugar content, this ice will usually
be soft enough to serve, so you may as well make it in
advance of the day you'll be needing it.
