Limoncello and lime granita
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 limes
300ml Limoncello liquor
80g caster sugar
Method
Finely grate the skin of the limes and leave aside.
Squeeze the juice from the limes and place in a medium size saucepan with 1 litre of cold water.
Add the sugar and half of the lime zest into the same saucepan and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Stir occasionally.
Remove from the heat, pour in the Limoncello, mix and allow to cool. Once ready, pour into a flat container and freeze until crystals form around the edges.
At this point, stir the mixture vigorously with a fork and place it back in the freezer.
Repeat this process every 20 minutes over the next few hours until there is no liquid left in the container.
The consistency that you are looking for is just crunchy with broken crystals of ice.
Serve the granita in tall glasses and decorate with the remaining lime zest on top.
