Total Time:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup instant espresso
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 pint heavy cream (optional)
Directions
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the sugar and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Cook until all the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, add the espresso, mix, and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain the liquid into a shallow pan (about 2 inches high). Add the lemon juice and zest.
- Place the pan in the freezer. Using a fork, crush the mixture every 30 minutes until it is firm but not frozen hard (should be slightly slushy), about 2 hours. To serve, spoon the slush into glasses or bowls. Drizzle with cream and garnish with more zest if desired.6

Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
