Minted lemon granita

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
⅓ cup Sugar
1 cup Fresh lemon juice
1 cup Packed fresh mint leaves; rinsed and spun dry

Directions

In a saucepan combine the sugar and the lemon juice, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and let the syrup cool. In a blender or food processor puree the mint with the syrup, transfer the mixture to 2 metal ice-cube trays without dividers or a shallow metal pan, and freeze it, stirring and crushing the lumps with a fork every 30 minutes, for 2 to 3 hours, or until it is firm but not frozen solid. Scrape the granita with a fork to lighten the texture and serve it in chilled goblets.

Makes about 3 cups.
