How to Make Orange Ice
- Make your simple syrup first.
- Boil the sugar and water together in a sauce pan on the stove for five minutes.
- Put the mixture into the refrigerator to cool.
- Pour your juices and orange rind into the simple syrup once it is cooled.

Tips For making orange ice
- The shallower the container you put your orange ice into to cool, the faster it will harden and be ready to eat.
- I like to store ice in an insulated ice cream tub to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- The orange ice will keep for 3- 4 weeks if stored properly in the freezer.
