Chamomile Flowers Granita
teas.co.uk · 15 min + 4 hr freeze · Serves 6
You'll need
- 5 Teapigs Chamomile Flowers tea temples
- 700ml just boiled water
- 70g caster sugar
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 teaspoon honey, optional
- A wide, shallow freezer proof tray
Method
- Pour the just boiled water over the 5 temples in a covered jug and steep 8 minutes so the honeyed chamomile flavour comes through fully.
- Stir the sugar, lemon juice and optional honey into the warm brew until dissolved, then cool to room temperature.
- Pour into the wide tray and freeze flat so it sets fast and even.
- After 1 hour, drag a fork through the icy edges into the centre. Repeat every 30 to 45 minutes for about 3 to 4 hours.
- Each forking breaks the crystals so it sets as soft flakes rather than a block.
- Fork through again and serve in small chilled glasses, on its own or spooned over poached fruit.
