Steps:

• Stir water, sugar, ginger, lemon zest, and lime zest together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes; cool slightly.
• Stir the ginger mixture an orange juice together in a pitcher; pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place dish in the freezer; scrape and stir orange juice mixture with a fork once every hour until granita is evenly frozen and crystallized, about 6 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Zest 1 lime, then juice all 4 limes. Combine lime zest, juice, cream, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and ginger in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined and pour into the prepared crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, heat lime marmalade over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour lime marmalade over the warm tart and spread out evenly. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• In a blender, blend the lime juice and watermelon together, creating watermelon water. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds. Place 1/2 cup of the watermelon water into a saucepan and add the sugar, lime zest and ginger coins. Bring the mixture to a simmer to dissolve the sugar and infuse the liquid with the ginger and lime flavor. Set aside to cool. Add the grated ginger to the remaining watermelon water. Once the syrup is cool, remove the ginger coins and mix into the watermelon water. Pour the mixture into a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Place the dish into the freezer to chill. Every 30 minutes, scrape the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals and to keep it light and fluffy. Continue scraping every 30 minutes for at least 2 hours. Scrape the granita into elegant glasses and sprinkle with fleur de sel.

Steps:

• Puree 6 cups cubed seedless watermelon in a blender with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger until smooth. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze, scraping with a fork every hour, until fluffy, 5 to 7 hours.

Steps:

• Ice cubes: Cut each lime slice in quarters and put them into 16 ice cube molds. Combine the water and lime juice and pour it over the lime slices. Freeze until frozen, at least 4 hours.

Cover the pan and refrigerate for 4 hours.
