Preparation

Prepare the Granita
In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the lemon juice and stir well. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer. After 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape the mixture to create a granita texture. Repeat this process until the mixture is fully frozen and fluffy.
