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

Method

1. 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.
2. Stir the sugar, lemon juice and optional honey into the warm brew until dissolved, then cool to room temperature.
3. Pour it into the wide tray and freeze it flat, so that it sets quickly and evenly.
4. After 1 hour, rake a fork through the icy edges towards the centre. Keep forking every 30 to 45 minutes for roughly 3 to 4 hours.
5. Each forking breaks the crystals so it sets as soft flakes rather than a block.
6. Fork through again and serve in small chilled glasses, on its own or spooned over poached fruit.
