ORANGE GRANITA
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
Zest of 2 oranges
Juice of 6 large oranges
Juice of 1 lemon
3 to 4 teaspoons orange blossom water (optional)
Put the water, sugar and orange zest in a saucepan and gently simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove the saucepan from the heat to cool. Mix in the orange and lemon juices and the orange blossom water, if using.
Pour the granita mixture into a wide and shallow container.
Cover with a lid, foil or plastic wrap. Freeze the mixture for an hour or two until it has frozen around the edge.
Take the container out of the freezer and scrape the ice with a fork, mixing it from the edge into the center.
Repeat this scraping and mixing process every half-hour or so (at least three times) until the entire mixture has turned into small, sequined ice flakes.
It is best to eat the granita at once, but if you leave it in the freezer overnight or longer, just let it sit for about 10 minutes until it softens a little, and then scrape it again with a fork to lighten the texture.
Servings: 4 to 6
