AUTHENTIC SICILIAN GRANITA AL LIMONE
Lemon granita is one of my favorite things about Sicily. It's easy to make at home if a trip to the island isn't possible. Using Meyer lemons, which tend to be sweeter than regular lemons, helps replicate the flavor of authentic Sicilian lemons. Serve as an after-dinner refresher or afternoon pick-me-up. And for a nice twist, add a small scoop to your iced tea, like they do in Sicily.

Steps:
- Pour water and sugar into a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar melts; do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat when the sugar has completely dissolved and the water is no longer cloudy. Add lemon juice and stir until combined. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Pour into a freezer-safe dish that has a tight lid. Cover and put into the freezer until it begins to freeze around the edges, but is still slushy in the center, about 45 minutes.
- Lightly stir the crystals from the edge of the granita mixture into the center using a fork and mix thoroughly. Replace the lid. Close the freezer and chill until granita is nearly frozen, 30 to 40 more minutes.
- Mix lightly with a fork as before, scraping the crystals loose. Repeat freezing and stirring with the fork 3 to 4 times until crystals are separate and the granita is light, dry, and fluffy.
- Serve each portion with 1/2 of a lemon wheel and fresh lemon zest on top.

COCONUT-LIME GRANITA
Steps:
- Place an 8-inch square baking dish in the freezer to chill while you make the simple syrup.
- Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and syrup is at a gentle boil. Remove it from the heat, and allow it to cool..
- Pull the chilled baking dish out of the freezer, and pour the coconut milk into the dish. You may need to whisk it to smooth out any lumps.
- Whisk in the simple syrup, lime zest, lime juice and fresh coconut until well combined. Place the dish in the freezer, and let it chill for 1 hour.
- Pull it out of the freezer, and using a fork, break up the ice crystals forming around the edge of the dish, by dragging them into the more molten center. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every hour or so, smoothing out the granita before you return it to the freezer. The whole process should take about 3 hours. When you're ready to serve, allow the granita to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes so that it softens. Spoon the mixture into a small bowl or glass, and top with a little coarse sea salt.
Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use frozen peaches that have been thawed and drained.
- To make the soy milk granita ahead of time, freeze it in a shallow dish for at least 4 hours, or overnight. When you're ready to serve, scrape the granita with a fork and spoon it into glasses.
- You can also make the soy milk granita in individual serving glasses. Just fill each glass with 1/2 cup of soy milk and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight. When you're ready to serve, scrape the granita with a fork and enjoy.
- Garnish the soy milk granita with fresh peaches, mint, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
Conclusion:
Soy milk granita is a light, refreshing, and delicious summer treat. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a healthy snack or a sweet treat, soy milk granita is a great option.
