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.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my granita turned out too icy. I think I might have over-frozen it.
