Ingredients
- 750 ml Dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 100 ml Water
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the white wine, cooled simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 3
Pour the wine mixture into a shallow baking dish or freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer and let it chill for 1 hour.
Step 4
After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that have formed. Return it to the freezer.
Step 5
Repeat the scraping and stirring process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, or until the mixture has turned into a fluffy, icy consistency.
Step 6
When ready to serve, use a fork to fluff the Wine Ice into granita-like crystals. Spoon it into chilled dessert glasses or bowls.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately for a refreshing, boozy treat.
