1
Prepare the Lychee
If using fresh lychee, peel and pit the fruit. If using canned, drain and rinse the lychee.
2
Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the lychee fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth.
3
Chill the Mixture
Pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until it starts to freeze around the edges.
4
Scrape and Freeze
Once partially frozen, use a fork to scrape the mixture, mixing it well. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every 30 minutes until the sorbet is fully frozen and fluffy.

5
Make the Shiso Infusion
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add shiso leaves and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
6
Strain the Mixture
Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove the shiso leaves. Stir in lime juice.
7
Freeze the Granita
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, scrape the mixture with a fork to create a fluffy texture. Continue until fully frozen.
