Granita is basically flavored ice. It's a very refreshing way to end a meal.
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
Garnish orange slices, fresh basil leaves
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cup water, sugar, basil,a nd orange zest to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover; and let stand for 15 minutes.
Strain mixture into a freezer-safe 13x9-inch baking dish. Stri in orange juice. Freeze until edges begin to set, 30 to 35 minutes.
Using a fork, scrape mixture to break up frozen pieces. Freeze until mixture resembles fluffy shaved ice, about 4 hours, scraping every 30 minutes to break up frozen pieces. Serve in glasses, garnished with orange slices and basil.
Enjoy!!!
