Healthy Orange Granitas

Ingredients:

Oranges – 4

Water – 1 cup

Honey – 3 tbsp

Fresh Lemon juice – 1 tbsp

Oange zest – 1 tsp

Preparation:

Wash the oranges and cut 1/4 of the oranges from the top and keep the top and the oranges separately. Also, cut a sliver from the bottom so that the oranges stand firm. Freeze the scooped out oranges for 2 hrs.

Using a knife, scoop out the insides of the orange. Collect the juice and the pulp in a bowl. Pulse this alongwith honey, lime juice, orange zest and water until smooth, in a blender.

Pour the puree into a broad flat pan or broad flat bottomed plastic container and place it in freezer. Every 30 minutes, scrap with fork to break the ice. Repeat 4 times upto 2 hrs.

When you are about to serve, remove the frozen granita and scrap it again and scoop it into the orange shells. Serve garnished with mint or cream.
