- Large Mixing Bowl
- shallow dish or freezer safe container
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh orange juice about 4-5 oranges
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
Instructions

- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer.

Notes
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for best flavor.
- Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to get that perfect slushy texture.
