Pomegranate Granita



Pomegranate Granita

Pomegranate Granita is a super simple dessert to make. It is refreshing, sweet, tart icy dessert and best for those hot summer days.I am addicted to granita's as a afternoon summer treat.This one with pomegranate and a touch of ginger-citrus flavor has a super cooling effect just like an ice cream and you can enjoy without adding the extra calories.Try it,you will surely love it.

Ingredients
Pomegranate juice- 2 cup
(Squeeze and strain or use store brought one)
Lemon juice- 1/2
Ginger juice- 1 tsp
Sugar- 1/4 cup
(add according to your taste)



In a bowl mix in pomegranate juice,lemon juice,sugar and ginger juice.  Pour into a shallow freezer dish and freeze for 2 hours. Take it out after two hours and using a fork scrap it so that it does not freeze into one block.Put it back in the freezer and after a couple of hours scrap again into large crystals and scoop into a bowl and serve immediately.



Hope you will all enjoy!
