Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When ready to serve, use a fork to fluff the Wine Ice into granita-like crystals. Spoon it into chilled dessert glasses or bowls.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately for a refreshing, boozy treat.
