Ingredients
- 1 medium size watermelon (about 4 cups watermelon cubes)
- ¼ cup sugar or honey or stevia
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 10 to 15 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Remove the green rind, and cut the watermelon into discs.
- Add watermelon cubes into a food processor or blender.
- Pulse it a couple of times to make it into juice.
- Add sugar for added sweetness. This is optional. If watermelon has enough sweetness, skip sugar.
- Add lime juice. Lime juice brings out the sweetness of watermelon and tastes better.
- Add fresh mint leaves. Mint leaves add amazing fresh flavors to the granita. This step is an option, but you'll love the flavors of mint leaves in granita, trust me.
- Blend everything until everything blends well. Filter out watermelon juice and pour it into a shallow dish.
- Set it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once set a bit, remove it from the freezer and scrape it well. Place it back in the freezer to set it again. Repeat this a couple of times to make the consistency better.
- Once it fully sets scrape it and break it down well with a strong fork.
- Scoop the shavings and serve them immediately garnished with mint leaves.
