Delicious and refreshing holiday dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 5 whole cloves
  • 1 slice orange
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 3 tea bags red zesty herbal tea flavored with hibiscus, rose hips and lemongrass
  • 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice cocktail
  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
  • Fresh fruit, if desired
  • Thin almond wafer cookies, if desired
Instructions:
  • Pierce cloves into orange peel. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring water, sugar, cinnamon, and orange slice to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; then add tea bags. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Discard tea bags, cinnamon stick, and orange slice.
  • Combine the cranberry and pineapple juices with the tea. Transfer the mixture into a 2-quart nonmetal bowl or an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Cover and freeze for about 2 hours until partially frozen. Use a fork or wire whisk to stir the mixture. Cover and continue to freeze for 3 more hours, stirring every 30 minutes and breaking any large chunks.
  • Before serving, allow the granita to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Spoon the granita into elegant stemmed glasses and top with fresh fruit and cookies for an exquisite presentation.
