Ingredients:

  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh fruit puree or cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the filtered water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar crystals completely vanish and the liquid becomes clear, then remove from heat immediately.
  2. Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk in the chosen flavor base (fruit puree or cocoa) until the mixture is perfectly smooth and free of clumps.
  3. Pour the base into a bowl and let it cool. Once chilled, use a hand mixer to whip the mixture on high for 3–5 minutes until a frothy surface forms.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Every 90 minutes for the first 4 hours, vigorously stir or blend the edges toward the center to break up ice crystals.
