Lemon Granizado

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

2. 2

   Once the sugar water has cooled, stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.

3. 3

   Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and place it in the freezer.

4. 4

   After about 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that form.

5. 5

   Continue to scrape and stir the mixture every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the granizado has a light, fluffy texture.

6. 6

   Serve immediately or store in the freezer until ready to serve. If stored, scrape with a fork again before serving to fluff it up.
