Homemade Lemon or Orange Ice

This is a recipe that can be modified to handle nearly any citrus fruit but I have found works best with orange or lemon. 


Ingredients: 
6 Lemons or 6 Naval Oranges
1 Cup of Sugar 
1 Cup of Water
2 tbsp zest 


Preparation: 
Freeze bowl for ice cream maker according to directions for use in advance. In a 2 qt saucepan mix sugar and water and boil to create a simple syrup. When this has come to a boil, remove from heat and add zest. Allow to steep for 15 - 20 minutes. 


Juice the lemons or the oranges into a seal-able container and place in refrigerator overnight. Pour syrup and zest mixture into another seal-able container and place in refrigerator overnight. 


Mix together syrup and juice in ice cream maker scraping sides periodically until ice crystals form. Increase speed near the end once the majority of the mixture has frozen to keep air in the mix. 


Place in a seal-able container in the freezer, should last about 1 - 2 weeks (unless its eaten quicker)
