Coffee Granita | Perfect Recipe to Beat the Summer Heat!

 

Today’s recipe is for all you Coffee- lovers!

 

Beat the heat with this delicious Coffee Granita and stay cool on those hot-hot summer days <3

 

Ingredients

 

  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • Two and a half cups of whole coffee beans (around 6 ounces)/ You can also do strong brewed coffee *
  • One-fourth cup of coffee liqueur (Kahlúa or Tia Maria)
  • Cinnamon Powder (as per taste)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

 

Preparation

 

  • Take a pan and pour in the water (4 cups). To this add in the sugar and bring this to a boil. Keep stirring till the sugar dissolves.
  • Now put in the coffee beans and boil for another two minutes. You can add in the cinnamon powder and cover the pan; allow it to cool after removing it from the heat. Alternatively, you can use ground coffee and brew a pot of really strong coffee in the same way.
  • Strain this liquid in a jar and discard the coffee beans.
  • Next, add in the coffee liqueur ; you will have to stir so it can all blend nicely.
  • Lastly, freeze this mixture. You can also leave this overnight if you have the time. Freezing the mixture for 5 to 6 hours will give you slushy granita!
  • Before you serve, take a fork and scrape some granite from the top to loosen it a bit.
  • If you want to go that extra mile, I suggest whipping up some cream (using a blender or hand mixer) and adding that on top!
