Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
3 green-tea bags, or 2 tablespoons loose green tea
1/4 cup honey, or more to taste
Juice of lemon

Steps:

  • Put the ginger in a saucepan with 3 cups of water and bring almost to a boil, add the tea, cover and turn off the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then strain and discard the solids. Stir in the honey and lemon juice and taste. You want a fairly sweet mixture, so add more honey if necessary.
  • Pour the mixture into a shallow glass or ceramic pan and freeze. Stir to break up the ice every 30 minutes or so, until the mixture is slushy and crunchy with crystals, about 3 hours total. If the mixture becomes too hard, pulse it once or twice in the food processor to break it up, or put it in the fridge and stir occasionally until it reaches the desired texture. Spoon into small bowls and serve.

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
4 green tea bags
2 oranges

Steps:

  • Bring a tea kettle, with 3 cups of water, to a boil over medium heat.
  • In a heatproof bowl add the sugar, ginger and tea bags. Pour in 3 cups of boiling water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and let the tea bags steep until the liquid is cool. Strain and pour into an 8 by 8-inch metal cake pan and put it into the freezer. Check it after 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on your freezer). Stir with a fork breaking up any ice crystals that have formed. Put the pan back into the freezer and continue checking and forking every 45 minutes to 1 hour until you have a container of ice shards.
  • To make orange cups, slice the oranges in half and carefully remove the flesh with a spoon, making sure to keep the rinds intact. In a small bowl, muddle the orange flesh to get out the juice, then strain and reserve it for the "Rising Sun" cocktail recipe. Slice a bit of the bottom of each orange half so that it can stand upright. Put the orange rinds into the freezer.
  • Once the granita is completely frozen, divide it evenly among the 4 orange halves and serve immediately.
