NOTE: When I was growing up, my dad was a butcher. He would bring my mom a big bucket of crushed ice, and she would make Italian Lemon Ice. She would squeeze a dozen lemons and add sugar. She would then scrape in some lemon zest, and we were all set to sip the goodness. I have made the recipe with a little less work, but still with great flavor. Of course, if don’t mind the work, make it mom’s way. Enjoy!
Pure delight!
