Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put all the ingredients in a blender (not a food processor); blend on high speed for several minutes. Strain mixture through a fine sieve, pressing any solids dry with the back of a spoon. Pour it into a small container and freeze until solid, about 6 hours.

  2. Step 2

    To serve, scrape the ice lightly with a soup spoon to create a flaky texture similar to that of a granite. Serve immediately alongside or atop 20 to 24 freshly shucked oysters on the half shell.
