Wassail Granita {Vegan}

So, now the holidays are over and what to do with the leftover Christmas punch?  Here is a  SUPER easy recipe to enjoy those leftovers.

Wassail Granita

Wassail Granita is created by simply placing the punch into a flat freezer-safe dish or loaf pan, freezing in 45 minute intervals and scraping with a fork to create those crystals.

Continue this process until it is completely frozen and scraped into small crystals.  Serve in a chilled decorative glass with a sprig of mint.

Below is our recipe for Cranberry Wassail.   Enjoy! 🙂
