Granita di Limone

🌍 Italian, Sicily Difficulty: ●●●○○


Sicilian lemon ice, coarser than sorbet and scraped with a fork rather than churned. The sugar syrup must be cold before the lemon juice is added, or the acid prevents full dissolution. Freeze in a shallow tray and scrape every thirty minutes until the texture is crystalline.
