Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2/3 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
- 3 cups water
- 1–1/2 to 2 cups sugar (substitute ‘Stevia’ for a pure ‘clean’ recipe, just know that it will not taste as good as what you get in Italy with ‘real’ sugar)
- 1 cup fresh orange juice (about 4 oranges) or lemon juice (if you prefer, like I do)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves; stir constantly.
- Remove from heat.
- Cool completely.
- Pour into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Cover; freeze at least 8 hours or until firm.
- Remove dish from freezer, and scrape the entire mixture with a fork until fluffy.
- Store the remaining granita in an airtight container.
- Cover and freeze up to 1 month.
