Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 6 Tbs. loose Earl Grey tea leaves
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh tangerine or orange juice
- 6 tangerine zest strips
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the tea leaves. Cover and let steep until the tea is strong and dark but not bitter, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain the tea into a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, discarding the leaves, and whisk in the sugar until dissolved. Refrigerate until cold.
- Whisk the tangerine juice into the tea and place the bowl in the freezer. Stir the mixture about every hour, using a fork to break up ice crystals as they form, until the mixture is granular and slushy, 4 to 6 hours. Cover and freeze for up to 1 day, or serve immediately, spooning the granita into tall glasses. Garnish with the zest strips. Serves 6.
