Preparation
Step 1 Use a zester to strip the zest from the lemons and chop it roughly.
Step 2 Place it in a saucepan with the sugar and water and heat until it simmers.
Step 3 Wait for the mixture to simmer, then strain it into a shallow container.
Step 4 Let it cool to room temperature, then juice all three lemons into it, straining out the seeds and loose pulp.
Step 5 Stir the mixture together well, then freeze.
Step 6 Stir it together as it freezes, loosening any ice film that forms and crushing any lumps. Repeat every 20 minutes or so - more often once it’s almost frozen. This step creates the granita’s signature texture.
Step 7 Serve it when it’s still slightly slushy.
