RECIPE TIPS
ROSEWATER

Beautifully scented and cooling. If you don’t like rose water use elderflower cordial instead.

LEMONADE GRANITA

Make the Really easy lemonade (below, right) using half the water; then freeze in a shallow container. When frozen break into chunks and blend in a processor until smooth. Return to the freezer for a couple of hours. The longer it freezes the more icy the texture will become. Serve in small glasses. alternatively, churn in an ice cream machine. Decorate with lemon zest strips, if you like. Serves 8.
