Granita, similar to a sorbet, is a traditional Sicilian pleasure. Literally meaning, ‘little grains’, it is served as breakfast or dessert all over Italy. It’s one of the most refreshing desserts you can offer your guests - or yourself – on festive or casual days.
Ingredients
zest of one lemon and one lime
½ cup raw cane or turbinado sugar
2/3 cup water
1 ½ cups fresh lemon & lime juice combined (approx. 3 total citrus fruits)
Method
1. Combine the lemon and lime zest, sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat to a simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved.
2. Strain the mixture to remove the zest. Allow the liquid to cool.
3. To the syrup, add the fresh lemon and lime juice. Stir well.
4. Place the mixture in a freezer-safe container and freeze for 20 minutes, uncovered.
5. Use a fork to loosen and turn the ice. Return the mixture to the freezer for another 20 minutes. Repeat this process a couple more times. Cover and store until ready to serve.
