Green Tea and Ginger Granita

1. 1

   Put the ginger in a saucepan with 3 cups of water and bring almost to a boil, add the tea, cover and turn off the heat.

2. 2

   Let sit for 10 minutes, then strain and discard the solids.

3. 3

   Stir in the honey and lemon juice and taste.

4. 4

   You want a fairly sweet mixture, so add more honey if necessary.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into a shallow glass or ceramic pan and freeze.

6. 6

   Stir to break up the ice every 30 minutes or so, until the mixture is slushy and crunchy with crystals, about 3 hours total.

7. 7

   If the mixture becomes too hard, pulse it once or twice in the food processor to break it up, or put it in the fridge and stir occasionally until it reaches the desired texture.

8. 8

   Spoon into small bowls and serve.
