HOW TO MAKE LEMON GRANITA

4 servings

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup superfine sugar
• 2 cups water
• Juice of 6 large lemons, plus the zest of 2 of the lemon, minced
• Mint garnish, optional

Directions

Heat 2 cups water in a saucepan and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Let cool, and then add in the lemon juice and zest.

Freeze the lemon mixture in a metal bowl, stirring every 20 minutes, until the liquid has become granular but is still slightly slushy, 3 to 4 hours.

Serve the granita in dessert bowls with a sprig of mint.
