Servings: 4
Servings: 1/2 cup
Equipment
Ingredients
- Sugar– ⅔ cup of granulated sugar. Unfortunately a sugar free alternative such as Sucralose, will not work in this recipe as it is written.
- Water- 1 ¼ cup. As mentioned if you are using wine, simply sub the wine in for the water. For best results, use both wine and the water to reach that 1 ¼ cup rather than all wine.
- Lemon Juice – ⅔ cup. This is equivalent to 5-6 lemons depending on their size, if you are wanting to squeeze your own lemon juice.
- Optional- Thyme. 2-3 sprigs about a teaspoon.
Instructions
- Use a square or rectangular baking dish. A glass or metal one will work in this recipe.
- Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan on medium to high heat, combine together the granulated sugar and the water. Bring this to a boil and stir continuously. It should take about four to five minutes for your sugar to fully dissolve. When the sugar does dissolve, remove the saucepan from the stove.
- Next, stir in the lemon juice and any optional thyme. Then transfer the mixture to the baking dish. Allow this to cool at room temperature for thirty minutes then cover and move your granita to the refrigerator for another thirty minutes before moving it to the freezer.
- For the freezer steps of this process, use a fork to stir it every half hour for the next couple of hours. It should take between two to three hours to reach a good consistency for serving, depending on your taste. However, the consistency of the final product depends on alternating the freezing and stirring with a fork. Be sure to stir just before serving as well.
