Michael's note: These syrups are more on the tart side. If you prefer sweeter syrup, add more sugar before boiling.

For the Lemon Syrup:
8 lemons, zested and juiced
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch gray salt

For the Tutti Frutti Syrup:
1/2 pint strawberries,
1/2 pint blackberries
1/2 pint raspberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch gray salt
2 twists of peppermill

Ice, to serve

For the syrups: Put all the ingredients for each syrup into 2 separate
medium saucepans and bring them to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove them
from the heat; cool and strain.

For the Italian Ice: Put a large bunch of ice in a food processor and process until it is finely ground. Or put the ice in a towel and pound it with a rolling pin or bat until it is finely ground. Scoop into dishes and top with Lemon Syrup or Tutti Frutti Syrup, or both!
