Lemon-Flavored Italian Ice image

Italian ice is a summertime frozen treat. In the heat of the summer, you usually notice Italian ice carts out and about, selling them to cool off the kids. It is nothing but flavored ice, but is smooth and sweet. The favorite flavors seem to be lemon, strawberry, and chocolate. Italian ice should never contain any non-dairy creamer and always is made with pure cane sugar.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but I actually really enjoyed this. The sweetness of the sugar balances out the tartness of the lemon.
