Zubereitung von Lime Granita
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 3 cups of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the syrup to slightly thicken.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
- While the syrup is chilling, zest and juice 6-8 limes (approximately 1 cup of lime juice).
- Once the syrup is chilled, stir in the lime juice and zest. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed, adding more sugar if desired.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow metal baking pan or dish (a 9x13 inch pan works well).
- Freeze for 30 minutes. Then, use a fork to scrape and break up the ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours, or until the granita reaches a slushy, granular consistency.
- For the best flavor and texture, let the granita sit in the freezer for at least 30 minutes after reaching desired consistency before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
