Method

Mix all the ingredients until the sugar has dissolved.
Pour into a wide and shallow (about 1-inch-deep) glass or non-reactive metal pan and place in the freezer, for about 1 hour, until firm.
Using a spoon, break up the granita in the pan and replace in the freezer. Repeat, until all the juice has formed into ice crystals.
