Add more josh to a classy evening party with this Mint Basil Granita, which is sure to refresh one’s senses with the strong accents of mint and basil! Lemon juice complements the herby flavour beautifully, further highlighting the perky flavour and aroma of mint.


You need to plan ahead if you wish to serve the Mint Basil Granita, because it needs to set for around 10 hours. Once you take it out of the freezer and scrape it into glasses, serve immediately before the crystalline texture melts away!


You can serve this frozen dessert with a dollop of vanilla flavoured whipped cream for a minty-creamy-ice-creamy flavour.

This Granita recipe is very refreshing and has an excellent taste of mint and basil. Once in a while when one is bored of ice creams this can definitely be eaten....
