When I started blogging – almost a year ago – the first recipe I shared with you was my grandma’s\u00a0lemon granita<\/span><\/a>. <\/em>Shortly after I posted about watermelon juice. And now here I am, combining those two recipes by adding a little twist of rose water. The outcome is a super refreshing frozen dessert that you don’t wanna miss this summer!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ok, to be honest, my plan was to make a simple watermelon granita<\/em>. While the bottle of rose water was still in the fridge, waiting for its next assignment. I had no idea how well they would blend! Feel free to use a little more – but not too much though.\u00a0Its sole purpose is to add a little rose flavor to it. And should you not be a big fan of rose water,\u00a0don’t add it. It tastes great even without it!<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t like it very sweet. That is why I used only a minimum of sugar. But feel free to adjust to your taste. If you want to make an even healthier version of it, you can also use a sugar substitute like agave nectar.<\/span><\/p>\n
