How to Make Lemon Slurpee Granita
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature. This prevents ice crystals from forming too quickly.
- Once cooled, stir in 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of orange blossom water. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon flavor as needed.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish or several small containers. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the liquid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place in the freezer. After about 30 minutes, remove the granita and gently scrape the surface with a fork to break up any large ice crystals. Return to the freezer.
- Repeat the scraping process every 30-45 minutes for the next 2-3 hours, or until the granita is mostly frozen but still slightly slushy.
- About 20 minutes before serving, transfer the granita from the freezer to the refrigerator to soften slightly.
- Serve immediately in small bowls or, for a truly unique presentation, scoop the granita into hollowed-out lemon halves.
