Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Make the granita: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Water (1 cup) and sugar and heat until the Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup) dissolves completely.

step 2

Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin of the Blood Oranges (6) (you should have about 90 grams of peel).

step 3

Place the orange peels into the saucepan and remove the heat. Pour the mixture into a bowl set over an ice bath and let cool completely.

step 4

Juice the peeled oranges into a small bowl (you should have about 1 ¾ cups or 400 mL of juice) and set aside.

step 5

Strain the syrup into a large mixing bowl and add the orange juice.

step 6

Whisk to combine and then pour into a metal loaf pan. Place the pan in the freezer and stir and scrape with a fork every 20 minutes so that it does not freeze into a solid block.

step 7

Continue to scrape the granita so it resembles shaved ice, this should take about 3 hours total.

step 8

Labneh Cheese (1 cup) sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the labneh, Honey (1 Tbsp) and Kosher Salt (1/4 tsp) Vigorously whisk the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.

step 9

Assembly: Layer the granita, labneh, Oranges (6) segments, Fresh Mint Leaves (12) mint and @candied orange peel into a clear glass.
