Citrus-Basil Kombucha Granita

There was a time in my life the phrase “kombucha granita” would have sounded like a foreign language. I would have no idea what the heck that was. I definitely wouldn’t have guessed it was a delicious dessert! But these days, kombucha lines the shelves of grocery stores in as wide a variety of flavors as you can imagine. Fruits of all kinds, greens, herbs, and spices–where do you even start? With a base flavor of orange and grapefruit, and the delightfully, springy addition of basil, this granita works well with so many different kinds of kombucha. I’ve made it with lemon, berry, and ginger and would love to try peach, pineapple, and mango in the future. Maybe even one of the herbal flavors like hibiscus. Don’t have, can’t find, or can’t afford kombucha? Use sparkling water, pineapple juice, or additional orange juice instead.
