Time 6h20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
2 cups fresh grapefruit juice (from about 3 medium grapefruits), strained
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons), strained

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring sugar, mint, and 1/2 cup water to a boil over medium-high, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes. In a blender, combine fruit juices and mint syrup and puree on high to combine, 30 seconds. Pour mixture into a nonreactive shallow 2-quart baking dish and freeze until solid, about 6 hours (or up to 3 days).
  • With a fork, break granita into large chunks. Transfer to a food processor and pulse to form small crystals. Serve immediately, with mint leaves (or cover and freeze, up to 2 hours).
