If it’s a hot summer day, this is a great dish to serve to guests. I recommend making several different flavours for variety!

Ingredients:
Strawberry and basil granita:
- 1 tub strawberries, hulled and sliced in half.
- 1 large handful basil, shredded.
- Sweetener of your choice, to taste.
Lemon and mint granita:
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice.
- 1 handful mint, shredded.
- Sweetener of your choice, to taste.
- Water, to dilute the lemon juice.
Cooking Instructions
Place the strawberries and basil in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, adding sweetener to your preference. Put in a freezer-safe container and set aside. Do the same with the lemon and mint.
Place both containers into the freezer for at least 4 hours, stirring every half hour to prevent it from freezing solid, but instead making a crunchy ice. Serve in cute little dishes.
