STRAWBERRY GRANITA: refreshing and tasty!

INGREDIENTS


500ml (2 cups) of water


150g (3/4 cup) of sugar


Juice of 1 lemon


450g (about 3 1/2 cups) of strawberries (weighed without stems)


Fresh mint leaves for decoration, to taste


 


METHOD


1. In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar, bring to a boil, and stir continuously until you get a syrup. Let it cool.


2. Remove the stems from the strawberries, place them in a tall, narrow container, and blend using an immersion blender.


3. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, add the lemon juice and the cooled syrup, and stir with a spoon.


4. Transfer the mixture into a wider container (not deep), and place it in the freezer.


5. Every 30 minutes, take the granita out and stir well with a whisk to break up the ice crystals.


6. Once you get a thick, slushy consistency (this will take about 4 hours), divide the granita into individual glasses and garnish with a mint leaf.
