STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE # 35 : Rosy Citrus and Cucumber Granita!!!
STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE of this week!
ALIEN BERRIES AND CRISPY KUNAFA WITH HONEY AND YOGHURT
Smooth Smoothielicious Farewell
• Oranges – 2pcs
• Grapefruit – 1pc
• Cucumber – 1pc
• Sugarcane – 1pc
• Mint – 2 sprigs
• Sugar – 10gms
• Eggwhite – 1pc
• Roses – Some petals
Cut the cucumber in halves. Juice half and clean the other as seen below above, like a boat.
Peel the sugarcane and cut 4 nice batonnets in it!
In a bowl , separate the egg and keep the white only to be used!
Wash the mint leaves.
First thing, mix both the citrus and cucumber juice together and place in a large glass bowl! I did not add any sweetener as it was already sweet! Keep it natural guys!
Place it in the deep freezer for 2 hours!
After the first 2 hours, it will start to freeze!
Take it out and with the use of a fork, draw ice from the edges towards the centre!
Put it back in the deep freezer and repeat this process minimum twice!
The most exciting part is now!
Take one petal by one and dip in the egg white!
Then sprinkle with white sugar.
Place a baking sheet on a baking tray and delicately dispose the petals!
Look how beautiful they look!
Put to dry in the oven for 2 hours at 75 degrees
This is how they will look like after the drying time in the oven!
Magically the color will change too and the smell will be just extraordinary!
Maybe someone can tell us why this happens, I personally don't know!
The petals will be crispy - I ate so many before completing the recipe!
As i had quite some petals left, I even made some ice cubes with roses!
They turned out to be very beautiful.
Don't you think so?
This is how I actually plate the granita! Put it in the second cucumber half and place the citrus wedges, mint leaves and crispy petals on top!
Do not forget the sugarcane sticks!
To keep it longer, I placed it on a bowl with rose ice cubes!
Here it is my Rosy Citrus and Cucumber Granita.
It was so refreshing and when you mix all together it is an explosion in your mouth!
The crispy roses flavor just bring this granita to another level!
Those who like more sweetness, just chew on the sugar stick for additional sweetness!
