I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Add sugar and mint to mixing bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 10
Scrape down sides.
Add strawberries and lemon or lime and chop 10 sec/speed 5
Add ice and white rum and crush 40 sec/speed 9. Check consistency and blend for a further 20-30 sec/ speed 9 if required.
Pour into cocktail glasses and add halved strawberries and fresh mint leaves to give the beautiful red and green festive colours.
Enjoy and have a very Merry Christmas!!
Tip
If you want to serve to non-drinkers or children then at Step 3 only add ice and blend to preferred consistency.
Pour out half of the granita and then add 75-100g rum to remaining mixture and blend for 30 seconds.
If you'll be making more than one batch, mill triple the amount of sugar and mint and set it aside. That way you won't have to wash and dry the bowl in between batches.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
