This incredibly easy icy dessert comes together in only a few minutes, perfect for a hot summer day when you want something fast and simple, without a ton of preparation. Pro tips: To crush ice, place the cubes in a zip-close plastic bag, seal, and coarsely crush with a rolling pin. And to make the almonds even more tasty, toast them by putting them into a skillet and cooking until lightly golden, which will take about 5 minutes over medium heat.
