Granita di limone recipe and Italian dinner pictures

Hey everybody!! I am going to share with you all the recipe for Granita di limone, or lemon flavored ice. This stuff is amazing!! I don't know if any of you have ever had a lemon shake-up (we get them at our county fair), but Granita di limone tastes just like one. So here is the recipe:

• Ingredients

2 cups of water

2/3 cup sugar

juice and rind of 2 lemons

• Equipment

saucepan

grater or zester

lemon squeezer

plastic tray or bowl

• Squeeze the lemon juice and grate the lemon rind. Set aside.
• Boil water and sugar in a saucepan for 5 minutes, stirring to make sure the sugar dissolves.
• Remove from heat, add the lemon juice and grated lemon rind, and leave to cool.
• Pour into a tray or bowl that can be put in a freezer. Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours.
• Stir every 30 minutes to scrape the ice crystals into the mixture. This makes a softer, finer water ice.
• You can try making other flavors with different kinds of juice or even coffee. Italians really like coffee!
