2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Grated rind of one lemon
Put water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; add the lemon juice and grated rind. Put the mixture into a shallow bowl to cool. Transfer to an ice-cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. This makes 8 servings, so save half of it.
