Victorian Lemon Ice

Juice 4 lemons and an orange

Heat a mixture of 4 cups of water and 1 and one half cups of sugar in a saucepan. Boil for 10 minutes.

Put sugar water mixture into a bowl. Strain juice over it and stir. Let cool.

Place into a plastic lidded container. Keep in freezer for several hours.

Use a large spoon to scrape shavings off the top of the lemon ice and shape into scoop-size servings into your fanciest glass dessert dishes.
