A dish made with lemons and sugar.
Ingredients
US
Metric
- 3 lemons
- 4⅜ oz sugar
Steps
- Squeeze the lemons.
- Put in a pot the sugar, 6⅛ oz of lemon juice and pulp, and 1¼ cups of water.
- Boil for 10 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of water and stir.
- Wait for the solution to cool down to room temperature.
- Pour it in a container that can be frozen.
- Put it in the freezer.
- 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.
- stir even if you don't see any ice yet : there may already be small crystals
- if you find any ice block, make sure to break them down
- don't worry if the ice melts when you stir: the water stays cold and will freeze again fast enough
- 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.
- If you don't consume all granita at once, it may freeze to a block.
