Hi Frankie, I live in a predominately Italian neighborhood in Michigan and you see Italian Lemon Ice everywhere! Thank goodness!:) Try it with frozen Blueberry's and even with Tangerine juice or Sour Orange instead of lemon! Like you said"So Worth The Brain Freeze!":) Thanks.

The way the lemons were just can't.

that's basically called 'es serut' or shaved ice in my country. But we pour the syrup on top.

Would it work as well with lime? Or it wouldn't as tasty?

[miamoncada]

I had no strawberries or lemon so I used nectarines and limes 😂

I once got brain freeze from granita, it was like someone shoved a huge icicle in my eye! After I came down from that pain, I thought "wow, let's do that again!"
