Ingredients

3-4 HRS CHILL TIME

------------------------------

2 to 3 large lemons

1 cup filtered or bottled still water (not distilled)

1/3 cup superfine granulated sugar

Directions

With a vegetable peeler remove zest in long pieces from 2 lemons.

Squeeze 1/2 cup juice from lemons.

In a small heavy saucepan heat water and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Stir in zest and transfer syrup to a bowl to cool.

Chill syrup, covered, until cold.

Discard zest and stir in lemon juice.

For eastern-Sicilian granita:

Freeze lemon mixture in an ice-cream maker until spoonable but not crumbly and serve immediately.

For western-Sicilian granita:

Freeze lemon mixture in a metal bowl, stirring every 30 minutes to remove ice crystals from side of bowl, until liquid has become granular but is still slightly slushy, about 3 to 4 hours.

Serve granita immediately. Makes about 2 and 1/2 cups.
