      Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles! I have a huge pot of basil on my counter & am always looking for interesting new recipes to put it in! This granita is juicy, refreshing & absolutely delicious - the basil really lifts the orange flavour. The whole family LOVES this! Thanks Sharon for a super recipe :)
