2 tablespoons honey
Water
Method
Add all ingredients into a Nutribullet or food processor and blend until smooth.
Poor the smoothie like mixture in a glass dish ensuring the mix does not get thicker than 3cm deep, in order to freeze better.
Put in the freezer.
After about an hour, and every hour after that, scrape the surface of the frozen mix in order to form those crunchy crystals.
Repeat for 3 to 5 hours.
