Steps:
- Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in basil. Let syrup stand 15 minutes.
- Stir together orange juice, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour basil syrup through a fine sieve into the orange juice mixture; discard basil.
- Transfer mixture to a 9-by-13-inch shallow nonreactive dish. Chill in freezer until edges are frozen, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from freezer; scrape with fork tines, pulling from edges into center. Return to freezer. Repeat process every 30 minutes until mixture is the texture of shaved ice, about 4 1/2 hours. Spoon into serving bowls, and garnish with basil.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my granita turned out more like a slush than a granita. It was still tasty, but not what I was hoping for.

[email protected]I was so excited to try this recipe, but it didn't turn out as I expected. The granita was too icy and didn't have much flavor.

[email protected]The granita was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I added a little bit of sugar to mine and it was perfect.
