Orange Ice with Thyme
Serves 2-4I think this is a great way of using oranges when they are in season during winter in California. The addition of fresh thyme works well in this refreshing dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- Zest from 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon orange flower water
- Leaves from two sprigs of thyme , coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Combine the water and sugar in a small pot and bring to a boil until all the sugar dissolves. Stir in the orange juice, zest, and orange flower water. Remove from the heat and carefully pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Chill in the refrigerator until cool.
- Transfer the bowl to a freezer and freeze the mixture for about 3-4 hours. Remove the bowl from the freezer, mix the mixture with a fork and return the bowl to the freezer. Repeat this process a few times for an additional 2 hours.
- When the ice is ready to be served, scoop into individual bowls and sprinkle the thyme over the top. Serve immediately.
