Chicago's Best Summer Favorites: Little Lulu's Italian Ice

Elliott shows us the number one-way Chicagoans cool down during sunny season, homemade Italian ice. He’s stopping by Little Lulu's Italian Ice to smash a few melons and learn the secret to a perfect batch of watermelon ice.

I also make my own Italian ice, right now enjoying Pink Grapefruit. Glad to see others who enjoy this passion.

Nice video

Love it

[@thehouse247]

Hey how about you make a ChicagosBest in the Kitchen series ..

[@rdu239]

I dont get it, its not really healthy because they put simple syrup and sugar, thats overkill, if you want to add sweetener for extender just only settle for one type. 😀

[@saqig7614]

Wow

[@DaWadeTwinz]

What brand machine is used to make the Italian ice?

[@xanderrizzello8281]

shes using an electrofreeze it looks like. I think EmeryThompson is the preferred machine of most italian ice manufacturers.

[@abrahamnutrition]

This is not healthy. It is pumped full of sugar! What is he talking about? Simple syrup Plus more sugar? She says it is all natural and healthier?

[@xrzzs9346]

this hurts thats my mom :(

[@fullmoon325]

I did some research when I made Italian ice at home, the reason why they are adding different forms of sweetener just for the texture, since there is no diary, certain amount of sugar is to be added to prevent the ice cream from becoming crystalline instead of what you see here.
