SHARBAT (ORANGE ICE)

Steps:

• Combine the orange and lemon juices.
• Place the sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes and then cool.
• Stir in the fruit juices and orange-blossom water, pour into freezer trays, cover with foil and freeze.
• As the ice freezes a little, beat it lightly with a fork to reduce the size of the ice crystals; and repeat this process at 30 minute intervals.
