For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality lemons. Adjust the amount of sugar to your personal preference. If you have an ice cream maker, you can use it to churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions for a smoother, creamier texture. Allow the lemon ice to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
