Now, tulsi isn't your ordinary sweet basil. It has a wonderfully aromatic flavour, slightly spicy with hints of cloves and pepper. And while we often think of basil as something to add to savoury dishes, tulsi can be absolutely delicious paired with summer fruit. So today, we're making something a little different: a homemade strawberry and tulsi granita!
If you've never made granita before, think of it as a cross between a sorbet and a grown-up slushie. It's icy, fruity and wonderfully refreshing, with a slightly coarse, crystalline texture that makes it so lovely on a hot day.
And the best part? You don't need an ice cream machine.
