Matcha Granita
Description
The Matcha Granita starts by dissolving sugar and ceremonial grade matcha into hot water cooled to 175°F. The mixture is frozen in a shallow container, then scraped periodically with a fork to break up the ice as it forms. This manual scraping produces fluffy, crystalline flakes rather than a solid block of ice, giving the granita its characteristic texture. The end result is a light, chilled dessert that showcases the earthy and slightly sweet flavor of matcha powder concentrated in icy form.
Its bright green color and clean flavor make it a refreshing palate cleanser or finish to a meal. Because it contains just water, sugar, and matcha, it’s a simple, refreshing treat especially suited to warm weather or as a light dessert option after heavier dishes.
Ingredients
- 500 ml water boiled and cooled to 175°F
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 6 g matcha ceremonial
Instructions
- Bring the water up to a boil and cool it to 175°F. Pour it into a heat-safe jar.
- Add in the granulated sugar and ceremonial matcha.
- Give the matcha and sugar a whisk until it dissolves evenly into the water.
- Pour the matcha mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container.
- Place the container into the freezer.
- Freeze for 2 hours, and then give the matcha mixture a stir and scrape with a fork. (This produces ice crystals and gives the granita a light texture).
- Every 30 minutes to 1 hour, scrape the mixture until completely frozen.
- Fluff the granita with a fork before adding to a chilled serving vessel. Serve immediately.
