meep its k

i went to the fair yesterday and i had the best cherry italian ice ever. is it possible that i can make it without an icecream maker?

Answer
run to italy... get some ice, bring it home

no, just blend ice, and throw some italian syrup in it.

technically thats not "authentic", authentic would be the syrup/water/fruit blended, and frozen into ice and then blended again... blended and put into a batch ice cream freezer.
