GREEN TEA AND GINGER GRANITA
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.

GREEN TEA AND GINGER GRANITA
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.
ICED GINGER GREEN TEA
Steps:
- Put the green tea bags into a heatproof container and pour in 1 quart boiling water. Let steep until it comes to room temperature, about 1 hour. Remove the tea bags and discard.
- While the tea is steeping, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 cup water, the sugar, and ginger to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar, remove from the heat, and allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Store the tea and ginger simple syrup in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice and pour in the tea. Sweeten, to taste, with the ginger simple syrup. Garnish with a slice of ginger. For the adults, top each with 1/2 cup prosecco, if desired.

Steps:
- Steep tea for two minutes. Discard tea bags and let cool. Press ginger through a clean garlic press, catching ginger juice in medium bowl. Discard ginger solids. Add tea and remaining ingredients, stir. Adjust sweetness if necessary. Pour mixture into a shallow pan and put in freezer. Fluff mixture with fork every 30 minutes until mixture is icy and fluffy, about 2-1/2 hours.
Tips:
- Use high-quality green tea. This will ensure that your granita has the best flavor. Look for loose-leaf green tea or high-quality tea bags.
- Steep the tea for the correct amount of time. If you steep the tea for too long, it will become bitter. Follow the instructions on the tea package or use a kitchen timer to ensure that you steep the tea for the correct amount of time.
- Use fresh ginger and citrus. This will give your granita the best flavor. Avoid using bottled or jarred ginger or citrus juice.
- Chill the granita thoroughly before serving. This will help it to develop a slushy consistency.
Conclusion:
Green tea granita is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is also a healthy way to enjoy green tea. This granita is made with fresh ginger and citrus, which give it a bright and flavorful taste. It is also low in calories and sugar, making it a guilt-free treat.
