Preperation and cooking times
Ready in 10 minutes plus 5 hours freezing- Gently heat the grapefruit juice, ginger and sugar together in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves, but not allowing the mixture to boil. Leave to cool. Strain and add the Angostura bitters, if using.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow container (about 20cm x 30cm) and put in the freezer for one hour. Use a fork to scrape the frozen edges of the granita into the slushy middle and freeze for a further hour. Repeat this process every hour for 3 or 4 hours then freeze for another hour until the granita has set. You should have a container of pink, glossy crystals. Scrape through with a fork before serving in chilled glasses.
