Italian ice
[4] Traditionally lemon flavored, popular modern choices include cherry, strawberry, and other fruits and confections.[5] The Italian word sorbetto and English sherbet come from fruit syrups sweetened with honey or palm sugar that the Arabs used to drink diluted with water.Italian ice can be used as a stand-alone refreshment, dessert, or as a palate restorer in a multi-course meal.These immigrants and their descendants began selling granita in Italian neighborhoods and in the streets of American cities, resulting in the related but slightly different Italian-American dessert now known as “Italian ice” (or “water ice” in the Philadelphia area)."[9] Water ice is generally sold in Philadelphia and the Philadelphia metropolitan area in the late spring and summer months, being one of the most popular iconic frozen desserts sold in the city by virtue of commercial chains such as Rita's Water Ice.
