    "excerpt": "Strong green tea, lightly sweetened and fork-frozen into a flaky Italian-style granita. Dairy-free and clean after a meal.",
    "content_text": "Granita is the flaky Italian cafe ice, and green tea makes a lovely one. You build it on a strong brew of the everyday green, sweeten it lightly, sharpen it with lemon, then freeze it in a shallow tub, scraping it through with a fork as it sets so it turns to soft icy crystals rather than a solid block.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/green-tea/green-tea-granita-italian-cafe-style/It serves four and is dairy-free. Brew it strong but still at 80C so the base does not turn bitter.",
