Lemon-Lime Slushy

• 2/3 cup sugar, plus 2 Tbs or more to taste
• 1 cup water
• Juice of 2 lemons and 2 limes (2/3 cup total)
• 1 lemon, washed and cut into paper-thin slices and finely chopped, optional
• 1 lime, thinly sliced, for garnish, optional

1. Prep time: 5 minutes
2. Cooking time: 5 minutes
3. Freezing time: about 4 hours
4. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water to a boil, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon and lime juices and cook 1 minute, then add the lemon slices, if desired, and cook 1 minute.
5. Transfer mixture to a 9-by 13-inch metal or glass pan and freeze for 2 to 3 hours, or until half frozen. Using a fork, break up the ice until texture is almost smooth. Freeze for another hour.
6. Break up ice crystals with a fork and scoop mixture into a parfait glass or tall, narrow glass; serve with a spoon, a straw, and, if desired, a slice of lime on the edge of glass.
7. How kids can help: Scrub fruit thoroughly; squeeze juice from lemons and limes; break up slushy mixture with a fork.
