I wanted to post a recipe for an icy cold coffee treat you can make yourself on these hot days of summer. Now, if you’re not a coffee person, then you can always substitute iced tea, or juice for the kiddos.
Easy Granita:
· 2 cups strong leftover coffee
· about 1/3 cup sugar
· and whipped cream (optional)
In a bowl or your measuring cup combine coffee and sugar. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Pour into 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. Place in freezer, and let sit until it starts to freeze slightly. After that, scrape with a fork every 20 minutes or so until you have the consistency of icy slush. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Tips: to avoid your Granita from defrosting too quickly place your glass into the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes as well, before serving.
Want to experiment with your Granita? Try adding a little splash of your favorite coffee syrup, like vanilla, raspberry, mint, etc. before freezing.
Enjoy!
