Ingredients
Scale
For the Lemonade
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold water
For the Frosted Lemonade
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Lemonade: In a medium pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cold water. Stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely. Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour to ensure the flavors blend perfectly and the lemonade is cold.
- Blend the Drink: Once chilled, pour the lemonade and the vanilla ice cream into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps, ensuring the ice cream is fully incorporated into the lemonade.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the frosted lemonade into two glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing, creamy texture and balanced tart sweetness of the drink.
Notes
- For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar to 2 tablespoons.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice will alter the taste.
- Vanilla ice cream can be substituted with dairy-free alternatives to make a vegan version.
- The drink is best served immediately after blending to maintain the frothy texture.
