Watermelon Italian Ice Recipes

Steps:

• 1. I get my watermelon juice by scraping chunks of watermelon through a colander. Set the colander over a measuring cup and mash it.
• 2. In a freezer safe pan, combine the 1 cup of watermelon juice and 3/4 cup of simple syrup.
• 3. Place this in the freezer and scrape it with a fork every half hour until it becomes light and flakey. (About 3 hours.)
• 4. Puree the frozen mix with the cup of ice cold water and salt.
• 5. Place the blended mix in disposable cups or soufflés and let them have a good freeze, at least another 3-4 hours. Enjoy!!
• 6. NOTE: It's best to let the Italian ice sit out for about 10-15 minutes before eating. Makes it easier to scoop into your mouth!!
