Units: US Metric
  • 3 lemons
  • 4⅜ oz sugar

Steps

  1. Squeeze the lemons.
  2. Put in a pot the sugar, 6⅛ oz of lemon juice and pulp, and 1¼ cups of water.
  3. Boil for 10 minutes.
  4. Add 3 cups of water and stir.
  5. Wait for the solution to cool down to room temperature.
  6. Pour it in a container that can be frozen.
  7. Put it in the freezer.
  8. Now, for the most boring part: you must prevent the separation of the ingredients due to the freezing process, and the formation of one huge ice block.
  9. stir even if you don't see any ice yet : there may already be small crystals
  10. if you find any ice block, make sure to break them down
  11. don't worry if the ice melts when you stir: the water stays cold and will freeze again fast enough
  12. Depending on the temperature, the whole thing may take much time to freeze: it's not unusual for it to require up to 20 hours.
  13. If you don't consume all granita at once, it may freeze to a block.
