Instructions: 1. Simple syrup: Put the water in a saucepan and add the sugar. Bring the liquid to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Refrigerate until well chilled.

2. In a bowl, combine the sugar syrup, lemon zest and lemon juice. Pour the granite into metal ice cube trays or a shallow metal pan and place in the freezer. Stir the granite every 30 minutes for about 90 minutes.

Makes about 1 quart.
