Pumpkin Granita
9 heaping cups pumpkin, pealed, roughly chopped into equal pieces
6 cups ginger tea
2 tangerines, zested and cut in half
4 cinnamon sticks
1 5 inch piece ginger, cut into chunks
5 cloves
2 star anise pods
1/4 tsp nutmeg (fresh is best here)
1 can coconut milk
4 tbsp maple syrup 
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tsp kosher salt
1 cup chopped candied ginger (garnish)
nutmeg (for garnish)

To a large pot bring the pumpkin and ginger tea to a boil. Add the tangerine zest and juice, cinnamon sticks, ginger, cloves, star anise, and nutmeg to the pot. Cook for 20 minutes. Turn heat to medium low, and add the coconut milk and maple syrup. Cook until pumpkin is tender. Strain out the aromatics (cloves, ginger, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and tangerines) You don’t want to add them to the blender, as they’ll be bitter. Add the pumpkin, one cup of the cooking liquid, and the orange juice to the blender. Blend until smooth (You may want to add more cooking liquid as well, the flavor is amazing, so add as much or as little as you want. You’re looking for the blended texture to be somewhere between a smoothie and soup consistency. When desired texture is reached, add liquid to a freezer safe container and let come to room temperature. Then add to freezer. After the first hour, or when the first ice crystals start forming, use a fork to scrape up the ice crystals. Then every 30-60 minutes, scrape some more. When the granita has frozen into a flaky and just slightly slushy mix, you’re ready to plate! (This process can be done up to a week before you’re planning to serve, so this is great to have on hand) I love to serve this layered with the molasses whipped cream and topped with candied ginger!
