Description

Warm weather calls for cool, delicious beverages. Whether enjoyed it poolside or at home, this frosted lemonade is simple to make and much more economical than the restaurant version.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice from about 6 large lemons
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• 1 c. VERY cold water*
• 6 c. vanilla bean ice cream
• 4-5 drops yellow food coloring, optional
• 4 sliced lemons, optional garnish

Steps

1. Add the lemon juice and sugar to a 7 to 8 c. blender; blend at low speed on either the milkshake or smoothie setting for 30-45 seconds. (This is a quick and easy way to dissolve and blend the lemon juice and sugar)
2. While keeping the mixer at low speed on the milkshake or smoothie setting, drizzle in the water; blend for 10-15 seconds.
3. Add the ice cream to the lemonade. With the lid secure, pulse on Low until the ice cream and lemonade are well blended.
