This cool delicious summer treat is so refreshing on a hot day. But don’t eat too fast, or you will get brain freeze.

Citrus Ice

3 cups sugar
4 cups water
5 or 6 ripe bananas, mashed
1 46 oz pineapple juice
1 12 oz can frozen lemonade (undiluted)
1 12 oz can frozen orange juice concentrate (undiluted)
2 quarts water
1 15 oz can crushed pineapple (optional)
1 2 liter bottle Fresca

In a large sauce pan, bring to a boil sugar and 4 cups water.  Let cool.  In a very large bowl mix all ingredients. Divide between two two empty 5 quart ice cream containers.  Place in freezer for about four hours, stir and scrap edges.  Repeat every 2 hours until frozen to a slushy consistency.  To serve, thaw for 20-30 minutes and spoon into glasses.  Pour Fresca over slush. Enjoy!
