{copy cat} Daiquiri Ice
If you're like me and can't get Baskin Robbin's Daiquiri Ice in your town anymore, make it at home! This copy cat recipe tastes JUST like the real thing!
Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 3 cup sugar
- Juice of 3 limes , fresh squeezed, pulp is fine
- 3 tsp imitation rum extract
- 2-4 teaspoons citric acid powder (or Fruit-Fresh)
- 3 drops green food coloring
Instructions
In a pan on the stove, heat sugar and water just until sugar melts.
Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 teaspoons citric acid. Stir until dissolved.
Let mixture cool for a few minutes and add rum extract, lime juice and food coloring.
Taste, and add more citric acid powder as needed, a 1/2 teaspoon at a time. The citric acid will be what gives this recipe it's tartness. The amount you will need will vary based also on the tartness of your limes. Mine weren't very tart at all, and I ended up using another 4 teaspoons to get it to where I was happy about the flavor.
Makes about 8 cups
