Citrus-Mint Granita

1. Put water and sugar in a pot over medium heat and stir occasionally until all the sugar is melted.

2. Add mint and fruit juice and stir. Bring to barely a boil then take off heat. (Here I had a bit of a problem. One recipe I was reading said to put this all in a blender, so I did. Only, hot hot juice in a blender equals hot hot juice all over your kitchen. Don’t do that. Your clean floors will be sticky and that’s not fun.)

3. Pour hot mixture through a fine strainer and take out all the chunkies.

4. Put the bowl of juice/fruit/mint mixture in the freezer until solid. I stirred mine once in a while to make it lose and icy.

Next time I will pour this into my ice cream maker. I think it will be more sorbet-like that way.
