Lemon Granita

Directions

1. 1
   Zest all three lemons, then add zest to a medium saucepan. Thoroughly juice lemons into the saucepan. Add sugar. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Allow to simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until mixture forms a thin syrup.
2. 2
   Turn off heat and pour in cold water, then pour into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Wait two hours, then remove container from freezer and stir gently, being careful to loosen any of the mixture that has stuck to the sides. Put lid back on, then return container to the freezer. Repeat an hour later, then another hour later. When you're finished, the mixture should be totally frozen and broken up. Keep sealed tightly in the freezer until ready to serve.
3. 3
   Make with limes, lemons and limes, grape juice, strawberries, or any fruit you have on hand!
