It's April and we have been lucky to start this month with the most beautiful weather! All I want to do is be outside with my girls and nothing is more refreshing on a spring day than a frozen treat to end the day. Citrus granita is a semi frozen dessert made with water, sugar and a citrus juice of your choice to create a shaved ice that will cool you off all season long.
