Watermelon Mojito Granita

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine mint leaves, sugar, and rum. Simmer over low heat until the mixture bubbles slightly around the edges, then take off heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

2. Meanwhile, dice your watermelon and place into a blender along with the juice of 2 limes (1/3-1/2 cup) and salt.

3. Once cooled, strain the rum sugar mixture through a fine mesh strainer, saving the liquid. Squeeze the mint as best you can to release its natural oils. Pour the strained rum sugar into the blender.
