As a proud Sicilian, deeply connected to my roots, I couldn’t help but share with you the recipe for lemon granita. It is very easy to make; you only need good lemons for this recipe. In Sicily, granita is usually accompanied by a good brioche col tuppo.
Let’s get started with the fun, happy cooking.

Steps
Dissolve the sugar in the water.
Using a citrus juicer, extract the juice from the lemons and add it to the sugar-water mixture.
Pour the liquid into a sturdy aluminum pan which will then be placed in the freezer.
Keep it in the freezer for approximately 4-5 hours
After this time, using a fork, start to scrape the ice block (it will be very easy).
Return to the freezer and repeat this process every 30 minutes for another two times.
