Orange And Star Anise Granita With Lychees

1. 1

   Place a 12 x 8-inch shallow metal rectangular pan in freezer.

2. 2

   Combine 2 cups water, sugar, orange peel and star anise in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to low; simmer, without stirring, 3 mins. Remove from heat and discard star anise. Stir in orange juice. Cool to room temperature.

4. 4

   Pour orange mixture into chilled pan and return to freezer. Freeze 3 hours, removing from freezer every 30 mins to scrape with a fork to break up ice crystals. When set, granita should be a soft, crushed ice texture. To serve, scoop into chilled glasses and top with lychees.
