Italian ice (known in the Philadelphia area as water ice[1]) is a frozen dessert made from either concentrated syrup flavoring or fruit purees. It is not shaved ice that is flavored, rather, it is made by the same process by which ice cream is made: mixing ingredients and pouring them into a batch freezer. Common flavors include cherry, lemon, and blue raspberry, though flavors such as coconut, blueberry, orange, and chocolate, among others, are available and range in popularity depending on the region.
The term "Italian ice" was added to the Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual of the United States Patent and Trademark Office on November 8, 2007.[2]
