Here\u2019s a great recipe for homemade granita!<br \/>\nMake sure to monitor the freezing process closely and scrape regularly to prevent the mixture from freezing solid.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; 4 servings of granita<br \/>\n&#8211; 2 cucumbers<br \/>\n&#8211; 2 yellow lemons<br \/>\n&#8211; 50 grams of sugar<br \/>\n&#8211; 200 ml of water<br \/>\n&#8211; A few leaves of mint<\/p>\n<h2>Preparation<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Making the Granita<\/h3>\n<p>Start by peeling and deseeding the cucumbers, then blend them into a fine puree. Next, squeeze the lemons to extract the juice.
