Lemon Grainita

Lemon Grainita
Enjoy this half drink and half sorbet on a boiling hot after noon.

Ingredients

250 ml (8 fl oz) boiling water
125 g (4 oz) caster sugar
375 ml (12 fl oz) lemon juice (8-9 lemons)

Recipe

Pour the boiling water over the sugar and leave it dissolve, stirring occasionally. Pass the lemon juice through a sieve and combine with container and place in the freezer.

Ii is impossible to predict exactly how long a granita Will take to freeze, this depend on the freezer; the important thing is to churn it regularly. Assume it will take three hours, stir it every 20 minutes. As crystals freeze around the outside of container scrape them into the center and break it up thoroughly. Once it has frozen it will be good to eat for few hours beyond this, but should not be left any longer. Serve in glasses.

Enjoy
