Pour the mixture into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish and place in the freezer. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, stirring with a fork every 30 minutes to break up the ice crystals, until the granita is almost completely frozen and the texture is like shaved ice. To serve, scrape the surface of the granita with a fork or ice cream scooper to create shaved crystals. Scoop into chilled glasses and serve immediately.
