Method

Granita Preparation

1

Infuse Hibiscus

In a medium saucepan, combine the dried hibiscus flowers and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for an additional 10 minutes.

2

Strain the Liquid

Once the hibiscus has steeped, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the flowers. You should have about 2.5 cups of hibiscus tea.

3

Blend Ingredients

In a blender, combine the strained hibiscus tea, fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and red chili flakes. Blend until smooth.

4

Freeze the Mixture

Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish and spread it out evenly. Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until the edges begin to harden.

5

Scrape the Granita

Using a fork, scrape the frozen mixture to create fluffy ice crystals. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, until the granita is fully frozen and fluffy.
