Hibiscus-Mint Granita
['6 dried hibiscus flowers, about 1/2 ounce', '3/4 cup sugar', 'Juice of 1 lime', '1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves', '4 whole fresh mint leaves']
Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Remove from the heat and steep the hibiscus flowers in the water for 5 to 7 minutes. Discard the hibiscus flowers. Add the sugar to the hot water and stir until melted. You may need to return it to the heat for a minute or two to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add the lime juice and chopped mint leaves.
Pour the liquid into a shallow bowl and place in the freezer. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours while mashing the large chunks of ice every 30 minutes or so.
Spoon the granita into chilled glasses and garnish with the whole mint leaves.
