Steps:
- Dissolve sugar in water in a pot over medium heat, whisking while water heats up. As soon as sugar dissolves and water is clear, remove pan from heat. While water is still warm, add lemon zest. Allow to cool to room temperature before adding lemon juice.
- Whisk in lemon juice and lemon extract. Pour into a baking pan about 9x13 inches. Place in freezer until ice starts to form around the edges, about 40 to 45 minutes. Use a fork to stir up ice. Do this every 20 to 30 minutes until lemon ice reaches your preferred texture, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Tips:
- Use filtered or distilled water: This will help to ensure that your ice cubes are clear and free of impurities.
- Boil the water first: This will help to remove any dissolved gases from the water, which can make the ice cubes cloudy.
- Cool the water quickly: The faster you cool the water, the smaller the ice crystals will be and the clearer the ice cubes will be.
- Use a covered container: This will help to prevent the water from evaporating and concentrating the impurities.
- Freeze the water slowly: The slower the water freezes, the larger the ice crystals will be and the cloudier the ice cubes will be.
- Store the ice cubes in a freezer-safe container: This will help to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods in the freezer.
Conclusion:
Making water ice is a simple process that can be done at home with just a few basic ingredients. By following these tips, you can make clear, refreshing ice cubes that are perfect for your favorite drinks.
