Fresh Ginger Granita
Ready In: 25 mins
Yields: 8 1/2 cup servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, thickly sliced
- 3 1⁄2 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Directions
- In a blender or food processor, purée the ginger with 1 cup of water. Combine the ginger purée, sugar and the remaining water in a saucepan. Bring to a bare simmer over high heat, not allowing the mixture to boil.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and add the lemon juice. Pour into a prechilled, non-reactive baking pan. Place in the freezer.
- Stir the granita every 15–20 minutes until it is evenly frozen with large crystals, about 2 hours.
- Or, let it freeze without stirring until solid, about 4 hours. When solid, use a metal spoon to scrape it into a light, granular texture or place broken pieces into a food processor and chop to desired texture.
