Ice Cream Making Tip -
Grenadine

Grenadine is syrup made from pomegranate juice. The syrup is completely non-alcoholic. Grenadine is bright red in color, and has a sweet, fresh flavor. The syrup is very effective in coloring sorbets and ice creams.


Ice Cream Making Tip -
Fresh Lemon Juice

A minimum of two fresh lemons will be required to produce 7 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Microwaving the lemons for 30 seconds and rolling them on the countertop while pressing down and produce more juice from each lemon.
