Pomegranate Water Ice
A ruby-red Turkish water ice made from fresh pomegranate juice, lightly sweetened and sharpened with lemon, then hand-scraped into loose, granita-like crystals and finished with a scatter of fresh pomegranate seeds. Light, tart and refreshing, it is built to taste intensely of fruit rather than sugar.

Instructions
1
Juice fresh pomegranates (or use pure juice) to measure 160g, then stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
2
Add the water and lemon juice to the sweetened pomegranate juice and whisk well to combine.
3
Pour the mixture into a shallow tray or tub, about 350ml / 12 fl oz, and place flat in the freezer.
4
After 45 minutes, scrape the semi-frozen edges into the centre with a fork, breaking up any ice crystals.
5
Return to the freezer and repeat the scraping every 30-45 minutes for 2-3 hours, until the whole mixture is made of fine, light ice crystals.
6
Scoop into chilled glasses, top with the fresh pomegranate seeds reserved for garnish, and serve immediately.
