Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 5–6 medium lemons)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups water
½ cup pineapple juice (optional)

Instructions

Zest and juice the lemons to yield about 1 cup of lemon juice. Reserve some zest for garnish.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water and sugar until dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in lemon juice (and optional pineapple juice) until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or ice cream maker. If using a dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour.
After an hour, scrape the mixture with a fork to create a fluffy texture. Return to the freezer for another 2 hours until fully frozen.
Serve in bowls or glasses, garnished with lemon zest or mint leaves.
