Lemon granita is a traditional Sicilian dessert, refreshing and thirst-quenching. Made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and water, it is perfect to enjoy during hot summer days. Its grainy texture and intense flavor make this dessert unique. Try it and let yourself be transported on a sweet walk through the streets of Palermo!
Mix the lemon juice with water and sugar, pour it into a plastic container, and place it in the freezer.
After two hours, break the mixture into pieces and put it back in the freezer.
Repeat this process a couple more times to give the granita its characteristic grainy texture.
To achieve the same result more quickly, you can put the frozen mixture directly into a blender at medium speed or scrape a large piece of ice with the appropriate tool and then pour the mixture over it.
Once the desired consistency is achieved, serve in a glass cup garnished with lemon slices and a few fresh mint leaves.
