Orange and Lemon Ice an Italian Dessert Treat
Often times when you are at a gourmet restaurant enjoying a fine
meal you will be served a delicious delicate dessert of flavored
ice. This particular version is a sweet Italian lemon and orange
flavored ice that has a surprising background flavor. The
background nuances are enhanced by a hearty portion of Grand
Marnier.
Orange and lemon ice an Italian dessert treat is a simple to
make dessert that can be served in the heat of summer as a
refreshing after lunch dessert or as an elegant ending to a
scrumptious meal.
2 Cups cold water
½ Cup granulated sugar
1 tsp grated lemon rind
½ Cup fresh lemon juice
1 Cup fresh orange juice
6 tablespoons Grand Marnier
Boil the water, sugar and lemon rind for 5 minutes. Cool and
add lemon and orange juice; mix well.
Freeze for 1 ½ hours.
Remove from freezer and beat in 2 Tbs Grand Marnier. Return to
the freezer until ready to serve.
To serve scoop into chilled wine glasses and float 1 Tbs of
Grand Marnier on top.
For added sparkle try serving Orange and Lemon Ice in polished
silver goblets. You can add a sprig of fresh peppermint to the
edge of the glass. The green of the mint sprig will give a nice
contrast to the ice.
