Some of the most popular variations of granita are the classic raspberry or lemon flavors. The flavors of my raspberry rooibos iced tea recipe inspired this delicious raspberry granita recipe.

👩🍳 How to Make Granita?
To prepare granita, the mixture is first poured into a shallow dish and placed in the freezer. As it freezes, the mixture is periodically scraped with a fork to achieve its characteristic crystalline texture. This process creates delicate ice crystals, giving granita its distinctive grainy consistency.
🥣 Ingredients For Raspberry Rooibos Granita Recipe
- Frozen Raspberries - In order to make a raspberry flavored crushed ice recipe, you obviously need some frozen raspberries.
- Lime Juice - This addition will balance the sweetness to the granita and give it that tart frozen limeade taste, which is perfect with the raspberry and peach
- Orange Juice - The orange juice must be chilled before making this recipe, or the consistency won't set up as quickly.
- Rooibos Tea - A popular antioxidant-rich tea that supports liver health and detoxification. I like the brand by Pique.
- Maple Syrup - As usual, my sweetener of choice. However, you can swap the maple syrup with some honey if you prefer.
