''Granita Siciliana'' - Orange

''Granita Siciliana'' - Orange 


Granita (in Italian also granita siciliana) is a semi-frozen dessert made from sugar, water and various flavorings. Originally from Sicily. It is consumed after a meal and at breakfast, along with a traditional brioche that has little to do with the croissant that is consumed in other regions of the country.

Ingredients: 
400 g of oranges 
200 g of sugar 
a lemon 

First take the oranges and peel them to live thus eliminating all the white part of  bitter taste. Cut only the orange part of the peel, into strips and wash well in water. Put the granulated sugar in a saucepan, add the strips and dilute the whole with a glass of water. Stir with a wooden spoon and put the pan on the stove over low heat. Cook the mixture for about half an hour, stirring frequently. 
As soon as the mixture has completely cooled, strain it through a sieve and put the syrup in a bowl. Add the orange juice, the lemon and add a glass of water. After stirring, pour in a container made of plastic for food and put it in the freezer for three hours. Every thirty or forty minutes, resume the pan and break the ice that forms on the surface, stirring well with a fork to prevent the formation of a single block of ice. 
At this point there will remain nothing more than to serve up your tasty orange granita.
