I absolutely love finishing a meal with a light, refreshing home-made granita because I always crave something sweet after a heavy, salty meal but sometimes there is just no room for cheesecake! There are any number of variations that can be made to this recipe so feel free to use up whatever you have on hand!
Ingredientes
1 Peach Tea bag
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp of raw sugar
Fresh herbs; basil, mint or cilantro
Method
1) Boil 2 cups of water in a small sauce pan and add sugar to make a simple syrup.
2) Turn off heat and add tea bag and lime juice and let them steep for 5 minutes.
3) Add a few leaves of your fresh herbs for 30 seconds- 1 minute. (I have found that if you leave them in for longer, your granita might taste a little funky.)
4) Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe pan. Every 20 minutes, scrape the top layer off to create the granita texture.
5) Enjoy!!
