This granita was a waste of time and ingredients. It was bland and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my granita turned out really icy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This granita was a complete disaster! The watermelon didn't freeze properly, and it ended up being a slushy mess.

This granita was really easy to make, but it didn't have a lot of flavor. I think I'll try adding some more lime juice next time.

I found this granita to be a little too sweet, but I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This granita was a little too icy for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the freezing time.

This was my first time making granita, and it turned out great! I used a watermelon that was a little too ripe, but it still tasted delicious.

This granita is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. It's also very healthy, since it's made with fresh fruit.
