The weather has been unforgiving, and on National Dessert Day, we think there is no better time to enjoy some Peach Tea Granita! Not only can you beat the heat with this refreshing treat, it is super easy to make as well.

Peach Tea Granita Recipe

Serves 3-4

Ingredients:

500ml of hot water
2 sachets of The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. Peach Tea
3 tbsp of simple syrup (1 part sugar, 1 part water)

Equipment:

baking tray
large fork

Instructions:

Steep the peach tea bags in hot water for 7 minutes and stir in the simple syrup. Leave the tea mixture to cool and adjust sweetness to taste. Once cooled, pour the tea into the baking tray and put it in the freezer.

Freeze for about 1 hour and rake with a fork. The mixture may not be completely frozen, but the idea is to rake the icy top layer. Repeat this step every half hour until there is no liquid left but only fluffy granita. Serve immediately or keep in freezer to be eaten later.
