We've enjoyed some amazingly hot and steamy days in New England this summer. I've had my Del's fix, and some Italian ice from Boston's North End, but I can't think of a better way to cool off then with this home-made-not-too-sweet granita. Enjoy.
Granita di Limone (Lemon Granita)
from epicurious
2 to 3 large lemons
1 cup filtered or bottled still water
1/3 cup superfine granulated sugar
Remove zest in long pieces from 2 lemons. Squeeze 1/2 cup juice from lemons.
In a small heavy saucepan heat water and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Stir in zest and transfer to syrup to a bowl to cool. Chill syrup, covered, until cold. Discard zest and stir in lemon juice. Serve. Yields approx. 2 1/2 cups or 4 servings.
