This frozen lemonade recipe will make you recall memories of the street fair, wandering through the crowds alternating between corn dogs and snow cones.
The concept is like that of a granita, a frozen Italian dessert with a coarse, flaky texture. The recipe is simple; all you need is water, granulated sugar and lemon juice (6-8 lemons worth). First, melt the sugar and water together in a saucepan to create a syrupy texture. While it cools, squeeze the lemon juice and dilute with water. Combine the lemonade and syrup; adding more or less water or sugar to achieve your optimal sweetness. Pour the lemonade into a baking dish and freeze.
Once you're ready to serve, scrape the frozen lemonade into a glass with a fork.
