*Caution:* I've never tried this recipe, but I have done this method to make ice cream. Basically, to anybody who doesn't have an ice cream maker: you could be able to make this with a food processor or a blender. You should freeze the lemonade base until solid, then put it in the processer/blender and let it do its thing. Put it in a container and freeze. Voila!

This is how I make homemade ice cream, and it comes out great every time. I haven't tried this recipe, but I think it would work the same.

If you can do the over night version: zest the lemons into a container with sugar, mix or depending on the size of the zest rub it into the sugar, seal it air tight and let it sit for 24 hours. Then make a simple sirup from it and follow the instruction of our host.

I'm not Italian but my dad lived in Italy as a kid, and I did as well. I'm lactose intolerant so no gelato for me, only Italian ice! Absolutely loved it, and still do.

It's amazing how something that I've only ever tried in my adult life will instantly transport me back to my childhood

Pyrex/Anchor Hocking have many different sized measuring glasses. The one you were using in the video is intended for soups that can be ladled in/out then poured once it gets below the half/quarter mark. Note if you pour from a measuring glass with lips on the spout there’s no spilling unless you rush it. I’ve learned this from the many spills in my history transferring liquids. Great video. I can’t wait to try Italian ice!

I grew up in chicago, we always called it italian ice!

I’m not Italian but I grew up in Delaware. Lemon wudder ice was my favorite thing to get on Sundays after church from the corner store. I’m making this tonight for my kids. Thank you 🙏🏾

[woovs]

Ia extremely grateful for you. I have been cooking Italian my whole life, and still use my great grand mothers pots. I knew I had to subscribe after your Sunday sauce video. Not that we have the same recipe, but very close. I use lard. But watching you reminds me of things I forgot when cooking with my Nan. Thank you so much. If you ever do a potato pie recipe it'll be much apreciated.

We have this in vietnam too, but instead of lemon, we use lime, which is more common and cheap here. This icy treat is usually sold around school gates, along with fresh from a frying pan mini skewers. Students from primary to university, even working adults love this combo

I made this and it was so good. I blended half a cup of strawberries with the lemon juice first, wow! It was amazing. Thank you for the recipe

[BlackGarland]

I like the quick simple syrup infusion method alot here. Its a different way to make oleo saccharum which is pretty key to a fantastic lemonade.

If tIme is on your side, you can make things a little easier by just zesting the lemons, then leaving them in pure sugar overnight. You'll end up with a concentrated version of the lemon simple syrup, that requires less fuss but more time. You can do this method to just about any fruit or veggie.

I swear your timing is always impeccable, ordered one yesterday from my favorite place and thought I wonder how they make these ???? Now I’ll be making them ! Awesome, thank you . Best on YouTube as I always say .

I'm not an Italian, but this stuff was my whole kid life.

[clutch]

As a child it was always "Granita". I would have a lemon granita as a part of my Last Meal! 🥇

[kathleensmith]

So good! One of the few things my Dad enjoyed when sick. Really appreciate the recipe so I can make it more tart than commercial ices. Great way to get vitamins.

[jenifer-ar]

You sure brought up memories of the Italian feast in my old neighborhood....thank you for that Stephen 💛

[diabeticdaniel]

If you added an egg white that has been whisked to stiff peaks towards the end of the freezing process you would probably end up with a nice and fluffy lemon sorbe. This recipe seems like a brilliant basis for alot of thing :)

[jamesmuhuhu]

You know it's genuine Italian when he does this 👌🏾👌🏾 while describing it

[MrCowscrubber]

The spout in those glass pitcher things do work, but the liquid needs to all be within the spout. This means you need to pour slowly so it doesn't go beyond the spout. If it even goes beyond slightly, the liquid goes everywhere. I had to learn this the hard way myself.
