Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Fresh orange juice
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 100 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 cups Crushed ice
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium flame, stirring continuously until the sugar completely dissolves to form a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl or pitcher, mix the fresh orange juice, cooled simple syrup, orange zest, lemon juice, and cardamom powder. Whisk until fully combined.
Place the mixture in the freezer for 1-2 hours, stirring gently every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals. Alternatively, if you have an ice cream maker, process the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once frozen, scoop the orange ice into serving glasses.
Top each serving with a spoonful of crushed ice for extra chill and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and aroma. Serve immediately.
