Easy Watermelon Rosewater Granita

This isn't really a recipe, just a super easy trick to making watermelon granita. And the best part, it doesn't need a high-tech blender or ice cream machine or any fancy tool so you don't have a mess to clean up after!

I was planning to make a watermelon sorbet all along (using a blender after flesh was frozen) but when I cut it in half, I thought, "why can't I just freeze it like this then serve?" Scooping out its frozen flesh, it worked great as a granita.

So that's exactly what I tried. And it worked out great. I couldn't believe how easy it was.

No need for the rosewater but I love the flavor it adds. You can also make rose water if you have rose petals and an hour.
