Juicy Orange Granita!

This orange granita is not just a palate cleanser, I have served it as dessert with vanilla ice cream and one of my personal favorites chocolate mousse. I’m a chocolate lover and the creamy texture of the mousse “works” wonderfully with the grainy, icy texture of the granita. Try it and you’ll see what I mean!

Juice from 6 oranges
3½ fl oz (100 ml) of sweet white wine
1½ oz (50 grams) of sugar
1 tablespoon of finely chopped, fresh ginger
1 teaspoon of earl grey tea leaves

Pour the juice, wine and sugar into a saucepan, add the ginger and bring to a boil. Add the tea leaves and boil for 4 more minutes. Strain the mixture and transfer to a suitable container. After it as cooled for a while, place the container in the freezer.
Remember to stir occasionally during the freezing process.
