What is Granita?

The beauty of frozen granita lies in its simplicity. It is made by combining water, sugar, and various fruits or flavors. This creates a semi-frozen icy dessert recipe that is perfect for hot summer days or as a delightful palate cleanser between courses.

Serving granita is an art in itself, as it is traditionally presented in a glass or ceramic dish. Also often accompanied by a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a sprig of mint. Its vibrant colors and luscious textures make it an appealing dessert that are a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.

You can enjoy this as a standalone dessert or as a refreshing interlude during a multi-course meal. Frozen granita is a delightful treat that has been loved and cherished for centuries. So, the next time you're looking to cool down and satiate your sweet tooth, why not indulge in the exquisite flavors of my raspberry rooibos granita?

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.
