1. Slice the lemons in half lengthwise, then pull the flesh away from the skin.
2. Once all the flesh is loose, scoop it out completely.
3. Pop them in the freezer so that they will keep the granita colder, longer. If not serving the same day, once solid, put them into a container or freezer bag.
4. Put the water and sugar into a medium sized pan over medium heat, just until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat, allow to cool then place in the refrigerator to chill.

1. In a large bowl, stir together lemon juice, sugar and water, until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Transfer the granita mixture into a large metal container (a loaf tin works great), cover with cling film, and place in the freezer for half an hour.
3. Use a wooden spoon to stir vigorously the mixture and break any ice crystals, then transfer the tin back in the freezer.
4. Repeat every 30 minutes for 2-3 times, or until your granita has reached a velvety icy texture. Alternatively, you can also use an immersion blender to break the ice crystals. Once it reaches the desired consistency, serve straight away.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
