Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup turbinado sugar
One 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
5 tablespoons lime juice
Lime zest, for garnish

Steps:

  • Special equipment: a meat tenderizer
  • Combine 5 cups water and the turbinado sugar and ginger in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan and place in the freezer. Freeze until completely frozen, about 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Take the pan out of the freezer when it becomes a giant ice cube. Smash the frozen block with a meat tenderizer and scoop crushed granita into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with lime zest and serve immediately. Freeze any remaining granita until ready to serve.
