Lavender granita

by Monika May 5, 2020

Lavender granita

I hope you are all fans of the Lavender Simple Syrup that we posted earlier this week. It has so many uses, in cocktails, in a latte, and here, in a Lavender granita. Enjoy it as a perfect palate cleanser in between savory courses. It also is a cool treat on a hot day. Best of all, to make a granita you don’t need an ice cream maker — no special equipment necessary!

Big thanks to Hipcooks Seattle Manager Claire for the idea and inspiration to make this recipe!

No more than a few ingredients to make the magic

You’ll need lavender simple syrup, water, lemon. If you like the bright magenta color that we have in this post, add a few blackberries. Otherwise, leave them out — they’re just for color!

The amounts of each are really up to you: lavender simple syrup straight-up will be too sweet for a granita. Dilute it with water, using as much as a 1:1 ratio for a not-too-sweet granita (as a palate cleanser.) Add lemon juice to balance the sweet flavor with a bit of acidity. Again, it’s to taste. Start with squeezing half a lemon. Then taste it. Adjust as necessary to your liking.

For that bright pink color, I macerate a few blackberries in the glass of a cocktail shaker, add the simple syrup, and strain. Just a few blackberries are all you need. The color will intensify during freezing.

To make the lavender granita, pour the simple syrup mixture into a shallow tray (or sturdy shallow bowl) and freeze. Once frozen, use a fork to scrape the ice. First, use a horizontal motion with your fork. Then, swipe vertically. Serve immediately, with a sprig of lavender. It’s so refreshing!

The granita looks beautiful! I’m so in with all of these lavender ideas that I just ordered lavender plants from our local nursery to add to our garden. Thanks for the inspiration! xo

It’s hard to make the lavender granita without knowing the amount of ingredients to use. Without that info we don’t even know how much it makes. Help!

Sure, Connie — I’ll add those amounts for you soon. I need to take a breath to catch up, and then I’ll post for you. Thanks. Monika
