Fluffy tea granita with lightly poached peaches is the perfect summer treat.
Ingredients:
  • 440g (2 cups) caster sugar
  • 20.00 ml jasmine tea leaves
  • 6 medium white peaches (or 12 very small peaches)
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, combine sugar with 1 liter of water and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add tea leaves, then remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the syrup into a clean pan and gently simmer over low-medium heat. Add peaches, zest, and juice. Cover the surface with parchment paper and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the peaches are just tender.
  • Take the pan off the heat and let the peaches cool in the syrup. Once cooled, move the peaches to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Pour the syrup into a shallow metal tray, then place it in the freezer for 2 hours until partially frozen. Use a fork to break up the mixture, then return it to the freezer. Repeat this step twice more at hourly intervals until the mixture turns into crystals.
  • Peel the peaches and place 2 peaches (or 1 medium peach) in each glass. Top with a generous spoonful of jasmine-tea snow before serving.
