Ingredients
  

2 cups of seedless grapes (choose either red or green for a pop of color)

1 cup of white granulated sugar

1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon of sea salt

Optional: unsweetened cocoa powder or ground cinnamon for an extra flavorful dusting

Instructions
 

Wash and Dry the Grapes:

    Begin by rinsing the seedless grapes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities. After washing, gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensuring they are completely dry is essential, as this will allow the sugar to adhere effectively.

      Prepare the Sugar Mixture:

        In a medium mixing bowl, combine the white granulated sugar, sea salt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and pure vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well until the sugar starts to absorb the lemon juice, resulting in a slightly damp, crumbly texture that holds together when pressed.

          Coat the Grapes with Sugar:

            Individually take each grape and roll it in the prepared sugar mixture until fully coated on all sides. Make sure each grape is evenly covered for the perfect sweet exterior.

              Arrange for Freezing:

                Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the coated grapes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other. This separation will prevent the grapes from sticking together during freezing.

                  Freeze the Grapes:

                    Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the grapes are completely frozen and firm to the touch.

                      Serving Your Frosted Delights:

                        Once frozen, these delightful icy treats are ready to enjoy! For an added touch of flavor, consider dusting them lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder or ground cinnamon just before serving.

                          Storage Recommendations:

                            If you happen to have any leftover (though unlikely!), transfer the frozen grapes to an airtight container or a zip-lock bag. Store them in the freezer for up to two weeks for optimal freshness.
