Sweet, tart and icy, this granita is as refreshing as dessert can be. Serve it in frozen dessert dishes to delay melting.
Ingredients
2 cups pomegranate juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp orange flower water
fresh pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Instructions
WHISK pomegranate juice with grenadine, lemon juice and orange flower water in an 8 x 8-in. glass dish. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, let stand at room temperature for 10 min. Scrape down length of dish with a spoon, forming icy flakes. Scoop into bowls and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Granita keeps well, frozen, for at least 2 weeks.
Shopping tip
Look for orange flower water in the international aisle in some supermarkets or health food stores.
