- Combine everything together and blitz in the blender until smooth.
- Pour into one or two flat containers with a lid. Freeze for 1½-2 hours. Place your serving glasses in the freezer also.
- Scrape the granita with a fork to make nice ice crystals. Put back in the freezer and repeat after 30 minutes.
- Serve the granita in cold glasses with a fresh leaf of basil on top. It’s really nice to eat this with fresh-cut watermelon on the side. Enjoy!
