Lemon Ice - Granita al Limone
This is easy and does not need an ice cream maker.
Ingredients
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions
Place the sugar and the water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir often until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil about 1 min. until the syrup is sparklingly clear. Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Pout the lemon juice through a fine sieve to catch any small seeds and pulp. Once the lemon juice has been sieved, add it to the syrup and mix together. Pour into a shallow glass or other non-reactive baking dish and place in the freezer. Scrape up the ice mixture with a fork after 20 min. It should be starting to freeze and be somewhat slushy at this point. Leave in the freezer another 20 to 30 min. and scrape up the mixture again with the tines of a fork. Repeat twice more or until it has the texture of shaved ice, and serve.
This ice can be served while it is still somewhat slushy. It is delicious that way.
