Ingredients

- 3 oz rice vermicelli noodles
Instructions
- Place the water and sugar in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat to medium and simmer for 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the lemon juice and rosewater. Let it cool completely, then transfer to a freezer safe dish and freeze uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the vermicelli noodles according to the package. Drain and place them in ice cold water so they stop cooking. Drain again and place the noodles in a bowl. Using kitchen shears, cut the noodles into small pieces.
- Take the container with the syrup out of the freezer and add in the noodles. Give it a stir and return uncovered to the freezer for one hour. After one hour, give it a good stir and return to the freezer for another hour. Stir and repeat one more time (total of 3 hours in the freezer). The dessert will have a granita-like texture.
- Divide between bowls and either serve as is or top with sour cherry jam and syrup or saffron ice cream.
