-
Ingredients:
2 to 3 large lemons
1 cup filtered or bottled still water (not distilled)
1/3 cup superfine granulated sugar
-
- Directions:
-
- With a vegetable peeler remove zest in long pieces from 2 lemons.
Squeeze 1/2 cup juice from lemons.
In a small heavy saucepan heat water and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Stir in zest and transfer syrup to a bowl to cool.
Chill syrup, covered, until cold.
Discard zest and stir in lemon juice.
For eastern-Sicilian granita:
Freeze lemon mixture in an ice-cream maker until spoonable but not crumbly and serve immediately.
For western-Sicilian granita:
Freeze lemon mixture in a metal bowl, stirring every 30 minutes to remove ice crystals from side of bowl, until liquid has become granular but is still slightly slushy, about 3 to 4 hours.
Serve granita immediately. Makes about 2 and 1/2 cups.
