Overall, I thought this granita was just okay. It was a bit bland for my taste.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. For example, I would add a bit more sugar and maybe some fresh mint.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my granita turned out too icy. I think I might have over-frozen it.

This granita is a bit tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
