Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, stir together lemon juice, sugar and water, until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Transfer the granita mixture into a large metal container (a loaf tin works great), cover with cling film, and place in the freezer for half an hour.
  3. Use a wooden spoon to stir vigorously the mixture and break any ice crystals, then transfer the tin back in the freezer.
  4. Repeat every 30 minutes for 2-3 times, or until your granita has reached a velvety icy texture. Alternatively, you can also use an immersion blender to break the ice crystals. Once it reaches the desired consistency, serve straight away.

Notes

  • Store your granita in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 1 day. Let it defrost for about 10 minutes at room temperature, then give it a nice mix and serve.
