Service
Place blueberries in a small bowl. Sprinkle sugar over blueberries and roll them around in the bowl until they are coated with sugar. Remove finished granita from freezer, then scrape and mix again to achieve a snow-like consistency. Spoon granita into a small, glass dessert bowl. Gently place three to five blueberries on top of granita. Garnish with fresh sprig of mint.
