Notes
Whilst I’ve only listed the recipe for Watermelon Granita below, you can easily substitute rockmelon and/or honey dew into this recipe for a variety of colours and flavours.
If you want to cut corners, you can avoid flaking the mixture every hour. Whilst you won’t achieve the same desired texture, it will still taste delicious, I promise. 🙂
