2
tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers or 6 hibiscus tea bags
1
sprig basil plus leaves for garnish
1
pound strawberries, hulled, quartered, plus 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries for
garnish
1/2
cup plus 2 Tbsp. (or more) lighttagave syrup (nectar)
1
tablespoon (or more) fresh lime juice
Bring 1½ cups
water to a boil in a small sauce pan. Stir in hibiscus and basil sprig. Remove
from heat, cover, and steep for 20 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve
into a small bowl. Cover and chill hibiscus tea until cold, at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile,
blend quartered strawberries in a blender until finely puréed. Transfer to a
large bowl; add tea, agave syrup, and 1 Tbsp. lime juice. Season to taste,
adding more agave and lime juice, if desired.
Pour
strawberry mixture into a 13x9x2" metal pan and freeze until top layer
begins to harden, about 2 hours. Using a fork, scrape mixture to break frozen
portions into tiny pieces. Freeze for 30 minutes; scrape again. Repeat until
granita resembles fluffy shaved ice, about 4 hours.
