- 2 kg watermelon
- 150g brown sugar
- 100 ml boiled water (or non-carbonated bottled water)
- 1 pot fresh mint/lemon balm
- 100 ml lemon juice
Directions:
Warm water in a pot, add sugar, stir until it melts, and leave it to chill. Finely chop mint or lemon balm leaves, spare a couple of leaves for garnish. Peel the watermelon, remove the seeds, chop and blend it with a blender. Add cooled water and sugar, lemon juice and chopped mint or lemon balm leaves to the blended watermelon and blend the mixture once more. Pour the purée to a broad and flat dish, then place it in the freezer for minimum 2-3 hours, stirring it from time to time (every 20-30 minutes) until granita resembles thick crystals. Scrape granita off with a spoon and portion it into glass cups. Garnish with a mint leaf.
