Instructions

1. Grate the lemon zest over the sugar and rub them together with your fingers so the sugar takes on the aroma.
2. Boil the water with the sugar for 3 minutes to make a syrup and let it cool.
3. Juice the lemons, add the juice to the syrup and strain it.
4. Pour it into a shallow, wide metal or glass container and put it in the freezer.
5. Every 30 minutes, take it out and scrape it with a fork, pulling the crystals from the edges into the center. After 3 or 4 hours you'll have a loose, fluffy granita.
6. If it has frozen hard, leave it out for a few minutes and scrape it again just before serving.
