A fruit granita is one of the simplest summer puddings going, and a peach and mango tea has exactly the flavour to carry it. You brew the tea good and strong, sweeten it while it is still hot, then blend it with fresh peach and mango and a squeeze of lemon to keep things bright.

It freezes in a shallow tray, and a quick drag of a fork every twenty minutes is all it takes to set it in soft, flaky shards rather than one solid block. Makes about 600ml, enough for six small scoops.

You'll need

3 tea bags of Lipton Black Tea with Peach and Mango from Greece
400ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
70g caster sugar
100g fresh peach flesh, peeled and chopped
30g fresh mango flesh, peeled and chopped
25ml fresh lemon juice
1 shallow 1L freezer proof container with lid
1 small saucepan and a saucer for covering
1 stick blender or small jug blender
1 fork for stirring

Method

Steep the three tea bags in 400ml of just boiled water for four minutes, covered, then lift them out.
Stir the caster sugar into the hot tea until it has fully dissolved.
Stand the pan in cold water for five minutes to take the heat out.
Blend the sweetened tea with the peach, mango and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour into a shallow freezer proof container and freeze for one hour.
Drag a fork right through it to break up the ice, then freeze and repeat every twenty minutes for two more rounds.
Once it is light and flaky, scoop into chilled bowls and serve straight away.
Tip: a wide, shallow tray freezes faster and forks up flakier than a deep tub.

What you'll end up with: Six small scoops of flaky peach and mango granita, bright with fresh fruit and a lift of lemon.
