Lemon Basil Granita

Directions

Wash hands with soap and warm water. Wash produce well and chop as directed.

Heat a medium sauce pan on medium heat and add water, lemon zest, sugar and basil. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved.

Cool syrup in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, until pan is cool to the touch.

Strain syrup into a baking pan and add lemon juice.

Place baking pan in freezer and scrape liquid with a fork every 20-30 minutes, until an icy texture is achieved and no liquid remains. This should take 2-4 hours, depending on the pan and freezer.

Serve immediately.
