1.
Make a syrup with water, sugar and the juice of a lime.
2.
Once everything has boiled, add the basil leaves, cover your pan or put a lid on to infuse the preparation for 10 minutes.
3.
Once everything is well infused, mix and filter the syrup using a strainer.
4.
Place the syrup in a container, then put it in the freezer for 24 hours.
5.
After 24 hours, scrape the ice with a fork until it has the texture of granita.
6.
Cut the cherries in half, remove the pits, then add a little lime juice on top so that they don’t turn black.
7.
First, remember to place your dessert cups in the freezer to prevent the mixture from melting too quickly. Add the granita on top, then the chopped cherries, the lime zest and a few chopped basil leaves.
