Orange Gelato

Ingredients
1 1/4 Cups Icing Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Fresh Orange Juice
2 Cups Water
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Cointreau/Grand Mariner
2 Eggs (whites only)
1/4 Cup Icing Sugar

Equipment
1 Large Pan
1 Airtight Container
1 Wooden Spoon
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Balloon Whisk

The Good Bit
  1. Place the largest amount of icing sugar in the pan along with the water, orange juice and lemon, Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved then bring to a rapid boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for15 minutes.
  2. Allow the mixture to cool before you pour it into your container, now's the time to add the booze, then place in the freezer and check from time to time. When it begins to form ice around the edges, whip your egg whites until they form soft peaks, stir in the remaining sugar then fold your eggs into the orange slush and freeze again.
