Spiced Winter Red Granita

teas.co.uk · 15 min + 4 hr freeze · Serves 6

You'll need

• 5 Teapigs Spiced Winter Red tea temples
• 700ml just boiled water
• 90g caster sugar
• Juice of 1 orange
• A little whipped cream or orange zest, to serve

Method

1. Steep the 5 temples in 700ml just boiled water for 7 minutes for a deeply spiced brew. Rooibos cannot over brew, so the long steep only deepens the spice.
2. Stir the sugar into the hot tea until dissolved, stir in the orange juice, then cool to room temperature.
3. Freeze the Winter Red flat in the wide tray; it sets fast and even.
4. After 1 hour, fork the frozen Winter Red edges in to the middle. Every 30 to 45 minutes, fork the Winter Red again; 3 to 4 hours.
5. Each forking breaks the crystals so it sets as light flakes rather than a block.
6. Fork through again and spoon into chilled glasses, topped with a little whipped cream or orange zest.
