Honeyed Grapefruit Granita
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1/2 cups Water
- 1/4 cups Honey
- 2 cups Freshly Squeezed Grapefruit Juice
- 1 Lemon, Juiced
- Fresh Mint, For Garnish (optional)
- 1. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil to make a simple syrup. When the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and chill the mixture. Measure 2/3 cup of the finished chilled syrup; you may have a bit extra that you can save for a cocktail or to sweeten iced coffee.
- 2. In a medium bowl, add the 2/3 cup simple syrup, honey, grapefruit juice, and lemon juice. Whisk well to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 glass baking dish and cover with plastic wrap. Slide the dish into the freezer and chill for 1 hour. Remove the dish from the freezer and scrape the granita with a fork to break up the mixture; cover and place back in the freezer. Scrape the granita every 30 minutes or so until it is frozen and crystals have formed.
- 3. To serve, spoon the granita into small dishes and top with fresh grapefruit segments, mint leaves, and a splash of champagne, cava or prosecco if you are feeling festive.
