Meyer Lemon Granita

I made some granita because I had a bunch of Meyer lemons at the house.  I first made some lemoncello with the zest, sugar and vodka.  I'll let that sit for a month or so in a jar before I strain it and re bottle it.

Then I'm stuck with a bunch of naked lemons, so I juiced them and added sugar and water in a pot and boiled it for about 15mins.  I poured it in a big ceramic dish and let it cool before putting it in the freezer.

In a couple hours you start scraping the freezing mixture with a fork to shred it.  Do that a few more times at 30 min intervals and you have granita!

Serve with some lemon cookies as desert or a smaller portion as an intermezzo at your next dinner.
