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.

I'm not usually a fan of green tea, but I really enjoyed this granita. The ginger flavor really balances out the green tea flavor.

I used a different type of green tea than the one specified in the recipe and it still turned out great. This recipe is very forgiving, which I appreciate.

I was short on time so I omitted the ginger syrup, but the granita was still very good

Due to an allergy, I had to use a decaffeinated green tea and it still came out wonderful.
