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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once frozen, scoop the orange ice into serving glasses.
Step 5
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.
