Method

In a bowl or jug, whisk together all ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning — it should be bright, spicy, and savoury.

Pour into a shallow tray and place in the freezer.

Every 30–45 minutes, use a fork to scrape and fluff the mix. Do this until fully frozen and flaky — about 3–4 hours total.

Before serving up, dip the rim of your glasses in agave syrup or honey, then in in Tajin. Once you have a neat and even coating, spoon in your granita.

Garnish with celery and lemon and any extras of your choice. Grab a spoon and enjoy!
