Ingredients
Frosted Lemonade Ingredients
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup cold water (no ice)
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- Ice cubes (for chilling water before blending)
Instructions
- Chill the Water: Place the water with ice cubes in a container and let it chill for several minutes to ensure it's very cold for the recipe.
- Mix Lemon Base: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ⅓ cup of cold water (without ice) into a blender. Blend the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved. Alternatively, you can stir these ingredients in a separate bowl before adding them to the blender.
- Add Ice Cream and Blend: Add the 3 cups of vanilla ice cream to the blender with the lemon mixture. Blend until the ice cream is fully combined, creating a frothy and creamy lemonade.
- Serve: Pour the frosted lemonade into three glasses. Serve immediately while cold, using a spoon or straw to enjoy the thick, creamy texture.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and natural acidity.
- Ensure the water is cold but without ice when blending to maintain the right consistency.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately as the ice cream will melt and change the texture if left standing.
- Adjust sugar amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Vanilla ice cream is recommended for its complementary flavor, but feel free to experiment with other flavors like lemon or plain vanilla for variation.
