Sour cherry granita is a refreshing Turkish drink made by freezing freshly squeezed sour cherry juice into fine ice crystals and scraping it with a fork. The scraping creates a snow-like texture similar to granita. It can be served as a refreshing option at breakfast.
Mix the sour cherry juice with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Warm gently for 3 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, place it in the freezer, and leave it for 90 minutes, until the edges begin to freeze.
Scrape the mixture with a fork to create fine, snow-like ice crystals. Return it to the freezer for 30 more minutes.
Scrape it once more with a fork, divide it among glasses, and serve immediately.
Scrape the mixture before it freezes completely, when the edges are icy but the center is still soft. A fully frozen mixture cannot be scraped.
