LEMON-BASIL GRANITA
Steps:
- Combine the sugar with 3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Warm the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from the heat, and cool to room temperature.
- Add the basil to the sugar syrup and muddle the leaves with the base of a wooden spoon. Let steep for 1 hour. Strain the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish (discard the basil). Stir in the lemon juice and vodka, if using. Freeze until the mixture begins to set, about 2 hours. Scrape with a fork to form small crystals in the ice every 30 minutes to an hour until the mixture is fully frozen, about 1 hour more.
- Serve the granita in chilled glasses, garnished with the small basil leaves.

Steps:
- Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and 3/4 cup water in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a 9-inch square glass baking dish, pressing hard on the solids with a spatula before discarding. Freeze the mixture, stirring and crushing up clumps of ice with a fork every hour, until it is frozen, but slushy, about 4 hours total. Spoon into glasses and garnish with the mint or basil leaves.
MELON WITH BASIL-LIME GRANITA
After such a substantial meal, you'll want to keep things light for dessert. A little fancier than a fruit salad yet almost as easy, this cool combination of musky cantaloupe and honeydew gets an unexpected fillip from icy granita. Dont worry if the granita melts faster than you expect-it will slump into a lovely sauce over the fruit.

BASIL AND LIME GRANITA
This is a lovely fresh granita that couldn't be easier to prepare. We like to add a couple of shots of vodka to it just before freezing, to make a more grown up version. Perfect for after a barbecue! Timing does not include 3 hours freezing time.

STRAWBERRY LIME GRANITA
A granita is similar to a sorbet since it is a mixture of fruit puree and simple syrup that is frozen to develop ice crystals which are broken up with a fork. You can process the mixture in an ice cream maker for a smoother texture and you'll have a sorbet. The simple syrup can be made up to a week in advance, but must be made the night before.

Steps:
- Make a simple syrup the night before, or up to a week ahead of time.
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium high heat; add the sugar and stir to dissolve, about 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to low and cook another 5 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat; let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
- About 3 to 4 hours before you will serve the granita, chill a 13x9 inch metal baking pan in the freezer.
- Combine the strawberries and lime juice in a blender; puree on high speed.
- Reduce speed to low setting and add the simple syrup.
- Blend for a few seconds just to incorporate.
- Take the chilled pan from the freezer and pour in the fruit mixture; return to freezer, uncovered.
- After an hour, the mixture should have just begun to set in the middle.
- Using a fork, break up the crystals and swirl around until you have a wide pile of mush in the center of the pan.
- Freeze for two more hours, breaking up the crystals once or twice.
- To serve: remove pan from freezer and let stand several minutes, if frozen solid.
- Use a fork to break up mixture, then scoop, with a spoon, large mounds into serving dishes or martini glasses.
- Drizzle a heaping teaspoon of condensed milk over each portion and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
- Garnish with mint sprig and wedge of lime.

Steps:
- Chop the tomatoes and place in a bowl with all the other ingredients except the basil leaves. If you have time, leave them to macerate at room temperature overnight. Blitz in a blender - in batches, then strain through a fine sieve. Shred the basil leaves and stir through.
- Clear a shelf in the freezer and place a sided metal tray in to chill. Make up your mix and leave to cool, then pour into the tray and cover with cling film. Freeze the liquid until frozen around the edges and slushy in the middle. Use a fork to break up the ice into smaller crystals. Return the tray to the freezer. Repeat the breaking up process every half hour (at least three times) until it's completely frozen and the texture of snow. For a quicker method: freeze the mixture in an ice tray, then blitz the cubes in a food processor just before serving. The texture will be slightly slushier, but just as delicious.
