Preparation
Step 1
Stir the hot water, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Blend 3 cups of strawberries in a food processor until smooth. Add the sugar syrup and blend until combined.
Step 2

Freeze until mixture is frozen, stirring the edges into the center every 20 to 30 minutes, about 1 1/2 hours. Using a fork, scrape the granita into flaky crystals. Cover tightly and freeze.
Step 3
Scrape the granita into bowls. Garnish with berries and serve.
