  • Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Add pomegranate seeds 5 minutes before the granita reaches the soft-serve stage.

Cook's Note:

If you don't have an ice cream maker, put the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir every hour. Remember to scrape down the sides when you mix the granita. When the granita is firm, but still soft, add the pomegranate seeds and mix well.
