Coffee granita, for the really hot days of the heat

02/08/2021
by coffees.gr

Το απόλυτο ρόφημα του καλοκαιριού έχει καφέ και πολύ πάγο.

In the great heat, we look for refreshing drinks that will refresh us, in order to withstand the high temperatures. Experts agree that we should consume plenty of fluids (such as fruit juices and water) and avoid alcohol, while coffee, although previously blamed as dehydrating, today everyone agrees that it is among the drinks that we can safely consume a hot, summer day. Well, we took it a step further, presenting a delicious Granita Coffee!

Inspired by the Sicilian Granita Del Cafe and enriched with a little coffee liqueur, which gives flavor and helps texture, granita coffee is something between a sweet and delicious drink that will become our best companion for hot summer days. It is easy to prepare and is ideal for large groups - the only problem is that everyone will ask for more!

 

What do we need for Granita Coffee?

Three cups of strong coffee
Or a cup of sugar
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream, for serving


How do we prepare Granita Coffee?

Stir in the coffee, sugar, liqueur and vanilla spirit until the sugar has dissolved well.
After the mixture comes to room temperature, place it in a shallow pan and freeze in the freezer.
Every half an hour, stir, bringing the crystals that are created at the edges, in the middle of the pan.
Repeat for as long as needed, until the texture is what we want.
Serve in a bowl with whipped cream, or in a glass with a wide straw.


Secrets to the perfect coffee granita

The secret to this easy and refreshing dessert is the right texture: we do not want our granita to freeze completely, but also not to have unnecessary liquids. The constant stirring of the frozen granite will allow us to achieve the desired result.
We use whatever coffee we want, without any restrictions!
A flavored filter coffee, such as Minges Chocolate, Minges Hazelnut or Minges Caramel will add another dimension to our granita.
The coffee liqueur, apart from the fact that it adds flavor, does not allow our mixture to freeze completely, making the acquisition of the desired texture a little easier.
Sugar may seem a bit excessive to many and we can reduce it, as long as we are a little more meticulous with the beating of our granita.
We can serve it either in a bowl, as a dessert, or in a glass with a wide straw, as a refreshing and refreshing drink.
Freeze the granita in a shallow pan, as this way the edges will freeze easily and the mixing we need will be even easier.
On hot days, we skip the whipped cream that can "burden" us.


Whether it is hot or cold, Granita Coffee is always a good idea - an icy coffee-flavored treat!
