How to make Italian ice with cannabis
Main Ingredients:
Fresh Fruit, Ice, Honey, Lemon Juice
If you're looking for a unique and fun twist on traditional Italian ice, try making it with cannabis. This recipe combines your favorite Italian ice with a cannabis-infused simple syrup for a refreshing and relaxing treat. Be sure to label it clearly for any guests who may not want to partake.
Ingredients:
1. 1 cup of water
2. 1 cup of sugar
3. 4 cups of fresh fruit (choose your favorite flavor!)
4. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
5. Pinch of salt
To make the perfect italian ice, you'll need to start with a good base. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar and bring it to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes slightly syrupy.
While the syrup is simmering, take your 4 cups of fresh fruit and puree it in a blender or food processor. You can use any fresh fruit of your choice, such as strawberries, peaches, or mangoes, to create different flavors. Once the fruit is pureed, strain it to remove any seeds or chunks, and then add it to the syrup mixture. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, take it out and mix it with a fork to break up any ice crystals that may be forming. Continue this process for about 3-4 hours, until the mixture is fully frozen and has a slushy consistency.
Once your italian ice is ready, scoop it into serving cups or bowls and enjoy immediately. You can also keep it in the freezer for up to a week, but be sure to take it out and let it thaw for a few minutes before serving. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and toppings like fresh herbs or chocolate chips to make it your own!
There you have it, a simple and delicious homemade Italian ices recipe that will transport you to the streets of Italy with every bite. Not only is it a healthier alternative to store-bought versions, but it's also a fun activity to do with your family and friends. So go ahead and give it a try, and let us know how it turned out!
