Tips:

  • Utilize fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries impart a vibrant tartness and natural sweetness to the granita. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries can be used as a substitute.
  • Simmer the cranberries: Simmering the cranberries in sugar and water helps to release their flavors and create a concentrated cranberry syrup.
  • Use a variety of herbal teas: Experiment with different herbal teas to create a unique flavor profile for the granita. Some popular choices include hibiscus, chamomile, and peppermint.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar used in the recipe can be adjusted to suit personal preferences. Taste the cranberry syrup before freezing to ensure it is sweet enough.
  • Freeze in a shallow container: Freezing the granita in a shallow container allows it to freeze evenly and quickly.
  • Scrape the granita regularly: While the granita is freezing, scrape it with a fork every 30-60 minutes to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
  • Serve immediately: Cranberry herbal tea granita is best served immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, but the texture may become icy over time.
