Rosewater and Vanilla Granita

Submitted by Cinnamon girl

"A delicate rose flavoured granita. I use home made vanilla sugar in this recipe. You can add more sugar if you prefer a very sweet granita. You can also add a drop or two of pink food colouring for visual effect. This granita is excellent on its own or served with fruit."
