    For the vanilla granita, combine the wine, sugar, vanilla pod and seeds and 2 cups (500ml) water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil and whisk to combine. Strain the mixture through a sieve, allowing the vanilla seeds to pass through, then set aside to cool. Place the mixture in a shallow container and place in the freezer for 2 hours or until partially frozen. Remove the container from the freezer and break up the crystals by scraping the surface with a fork. Return to the freezer for 1 hour, then remove and scrape crystals again. Repeat twice.
