Instructions: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Heat until the mixture begins to simmer. Decrease to medium-low heat and let the mixture steep and reduce (but do not let boil) to 8 cups, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold.

Pour reduced liquid into a shallow pan. Freeze, stirring every 1/2 hour, until hard, about 3 to 4 hours.
