With the hot summer weather comes the need for cool refreshing treats, so this summer why not try the original ice and make some Granitas!! More granular in texture than a sorbet, granitas are easily made at home and can be flavored with anything. Make them with fruit juices or purées for the kids and prepare a granita with your favorite summer cocktail for an adults-only cool treat. Traditionally flavored with coffee, granitas can also make a modert twist on cold soup, are perfect palate cleansers in between courses and will make an nice light dessert for your next dinner party. Ingredients:
1/3 cup liquid honey |
1/2 cup water |
3 cups green tea, with honey and ginseng |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring the water and honey to a simmer over medium high heat, stirring until the honey dissolves completely. Let cool.
2. Stir in the green tea, and lemon juice, then pour into a very cold 13x9-inch pan and carefully set in the freezer.
3. Stir with a fork every 45-60 minutes, breaking up the any ice cyrstals that may have formed, until the mixture is firm.
4. Scrape with a fork and serve in glasses, garnished with a slice of lemon.
