Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Watermelon seeds removed and chopped
  • 1 Lime
  • 6-7 Leaves fresh basil
  • 1 Teaspoon honey

Method
 

  1. Add watermelon, juice of 1 lime, basil, and honey to blender.
  2. Blend on high for until all ingredients are well mixed.
  3. Pour into a large pyrex container, cover, and place in freezer.
  4. Every 1-2 hours, check on the granita and mix using a fork to create a slush type consistency. Do this 3-4 times or until desired texture is reached.
  5. Serve with fresh basil on top.
  6. Optional: Can add your liquor of choice before freezing. Tequila, Rum or Gin would go well. I would start with 1-2 ounces and adjust for taste.
