"This tastes like a lemon ice but with a more gourmet flavor, from the soymilk website. Sometimes I add lime zest instead of the orange or a combination of the three. You can make this lower in calories by using splenda in place of the sugar. The cooking time is for freezing. Sometimes it takes a little less than 3 hours to freeze."
