Introduction

This is a really nice thing to served as a starter. I made it to go with pate and ciabatta. Don't be put off if you haven't got an ice cream machine. Made as a granita, it's just as usable.

Ingredients

Serves: 6-8

Metric Cups

6 oranges (juice and zest)
1 lime (juice and zest)
2 tablespoons cointreau (or triple sec)
¼ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
¼ teaspoon cardamom pods
¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
¼ teaspoon coriander seeds
