A pared-back version of the classic Levantine orange blossom granita, built on fresh orange and lemon juice loosened with water and lightly sweetened with a sugar-allulose blend so each scraped, crystalline scoop stays well under 250 calories.

Instructions
1
In a jug, whisk together the water, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and allulose until both sweeteners are fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
2
Stir in a few strips of finely grated orange zest for aroma if using, then pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe tray (about 350ml capacity).
3
Freeze uncovered for 1 hour, then scrape the surface with a fork to break up forming ice crystals.
4
Return to the freezer and scrape every 30-45 minutes for the next 2-3 hours, dragging the fork through the whole tray each time until no liquid remains and the texture is light, loose and crystalline throughout.
5
Once fully granular, cover the tray and freeze for a final 30 minutes to firm up.
6
Scrape into glasses with a fork to serve, piling the ice loosely into 4 light scoops.
