Instructions
-
Start by preparing the simple syrup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Stir well with a whisk to dissolve the sugar, then place over low heat. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup becomes smooth.
-
Once the syrup is ready, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
-
While the syrup cools, juice the lemons. Strain the juice to remove any seeds, ensuring a smooth, seed-free lemon juice.
-
After the syrup has cooled, mix the fresh lemon juice into the syrup. Stir thoroughly to combine the flavors.
-
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and set it to churn for 30-35 minutes. During this time, the mixture will begin to thicken and develop a creamy texture.
-
After the churning process, your lemon granita will be ready! The result should be a semi-solid, creamy consistency that is not too firm.
-
Serve the granita immediately, or place it in the freezer for a firmer texture if preferred. Enjoy the refreshing, tangy flavor of your homemade lemon granita!
This simple yet delicious dessert is perfect for a hot day, offering a light and tangy way to cool down and satisfy your sweet tooth.
