Watch the step by step process

Method

  1. Chop the watermelon into large chunks, then add all ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth.
  2. Pour the liquid mixture into a large dish and place in the freezer overnight until it has set. Use a fork to mix the granita around after the first hour and then let it freeze overnight. Whilst I’ve seen other recipes say you need to mix the granita every hour, I found you didn’t really need to touch it at all and it was still fluffy the next day.
  3. When you’re ready to serve, take the dish out of the freezer and scrape the granita with a fork until it has a nice and fluffy texture.
  4. Serve in a coupe glass and garnish with some mint leaves.
