2 cups of water
1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar

PREPARATION:
1. Combine the water, sugar,honey and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
2. Stir with a large spoon until the sugar has thoroughly dissolved, about 1 minute.
3. Pour the mixture into a medium shallow baking pan to speed up the freezing process.
4. Put the pan in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for about three hours. Scrape the ice crystals off the sides and into the middle of the pan, until the mixture is too frozen to stir.
5. Cover the pan with plastic and freeze overnight.
6. When the granita is ready for serving, put a fork at the top of the dish and pull it toward you in rows, moving from left to right as you rotate the pan.
7. Scrape up the shaved ice, garnish with a fresh lemon peel and enjoy.
