water ice

Icy fruit dessert

Water ice is a frozen dessert made from sweetened, flavored water—essentially Italian ice or a granita.

The term is especially common in Philadelphia: I got a lemon water ice from the corner stand.

In scientific contexts, water ice distinguishes frozen H₂O from other ices like dry ice or methane ice found on distant moons.
