YIELD: 3 CUPS
I love mojitos in the summertime. I get giddy when I see the fresh mint peek over our fence in the springtime, letting me know it’s almost time to stock up on lime and seltzer. This granita will satisfy your craving for summertime libation any time of year.
Directions
Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl, and then pour into a nonstick plastic or metal dish.
Freeze for 3 hours.
Once frozen, gently scrape the mixture into granules using the tines of a fork.
Serve with a fresh sprig of mint or a lime twist.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Keeps for up to 3 months frozen.
