Lemon Granita

Directions

1. 1
   Chill a rectangular metal baking pan (15 x 9 x 2) in the freezer.
2. 2
   Combine all ingredients in a blender or a large food processor until sugar dissolves (~1minute).
3. 3
   Pour the mixture into the baking pan and freeze about 30 minutes, or until crystalls begin to form.
4. 4
   Stir the mixture with a fork to loosen crystals; the goal is to evenly mix the crystals in the liquid.
5. 5
   Break up any large clumps.
6. 6
   place the pan back in the freezer and repeat the above step about every 20 minutes until the consistency is that of crushed ice (usually about 2 hours, depending on the freezer).
7. 7
   Serve immediately.
8. 8
   This can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
