Preparation Steps

• In a small saucepan on medium high heat, make a simple syrup by heating sugar, lemon zest, and water until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat, let cool, strain out the lemon zest.
• Mix in the lemon juice. Chill, either in the refrigerator, or by placing in a metal bowl over an ice bath.
• Once the mixture has thoroughly chilled, freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow pan and freeze in your freezer until semi-solid. Then take a fork and fluff it up, returning it to the freezer to freeze firm. Then put in a food processor or blender to process until smooth.
