- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups ice cold water
- 6 cups vanilla ice cream (about 12 scoops)
- Sliced lemons (for garnish)
Instructions
- Dissolve Sugar in Lemon Juice: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar into a blender. Blend until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a smooth lemon syrup base.
- Add Ice Cold Water: Pour in the ice cold water to dilute and chill the lemon syrup mixture, blending briefly to combine.
- Blend with Ice Cream: Add the vanilla ice cream to the blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming a frosted lemonade consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Divide the frosted lemonade evenly among 3 glasses. Garnish each glass with slices of fresh lemon and serve immediately with a straw or spoon for the best experience.
Notes
- Use ice cold water to help chill the lemonade and maintain the frosty texture.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste.
- Vanilla ice cream is essential for creaminess and sweetness; do not substitute with other flavors.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor as it may melt quickly.
