This light and elegant dessert is the perfect end to a hearty dinner. To make the granita, tart-sweet pomegranate juice is combined with spiced rum, crisp lime juice, and crushed lavender flowers. Freeze everything in a wide, shallow bowl and fluff it with a fork every 20 minutes for the first few hours to create a delicious mass of loose ice crystals. Once completely frozen, scrape it again and serve it into elegant glasses, garnished with lavender flowers. A perfect treat for a special occasion.
