Zubereitung von Basil And Lime Granita
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of packed fresh basil leaves.
- Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the basil leaves to extract all the flavor. Discard the leaves.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice, including any pulp.
- If desired, add 2 shots of vodka.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for 30 minutes. Remove and scrape the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals.
- Repeat this process every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours, then every hour until the granita has a snowy, grainy consistency (approximately 3 hours total freezing time).
- Allow the granita to sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
