Ingredients
1/2 cup(s)
water
1/2 cup(s)
granulated sugar
1 tbsp
finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup(s)
freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup(s)
cold water
3 cup(s)
ice, more or less to taste
lemon slices, for garnish
mint leaves, for garnish
Directions 6 steps | 33 Minutes
Step 1
Make the lemon simple syrup. In a small pot, add the water, sugar and lemon zest.
Step 2
Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer into a heat-proof vessel, cover and refrigerate until completely cool. (See notes 1.)
Step 3
Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the lemon simple syrup into the jar of a blender.
Step 4
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water and ice. (See notes 2.)
Step 5
Blend until slushy.
Step 6
Serve immediately in a tall glass garnished with mint leaves and lemon slices. Enjoy!
Notes:
- The lemon simple syrup takes quite a while to cool down. It is best done the night before. Alternatively, you can transfer it into the freezer for a faster cooling process. Make sure to check on it periodically so the mixture does not freeze.
- This frozen lemonade is quite icy. If you want your frozen lemonade less icy, reduce the amount of ice with water.
