- Remove water mixture from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Place water, mango, lime zest & juice (and jalapeno) into a blender, blend on high until smooth.

Notes
CHEF’S TIP: this recipe easily makes enough granita for 3-4 dozen oysters. Use as much or little as desired and freeze the leftovers.
