  Think there's something missing from this recipe. It says "strain into a tray and freeze as stated", but it doesn't state how to freeze. Does it need stirring or whisking during the freezing process?

  After searching, I think this must be similar to the part that is missing (taken from another granita recipe in the same issue): 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.
