GREEN TEA GRANITA
With the hot summer weather comes the need for cool refreshing treats, so this summer why not try the original "ice" and make some Granitas!! More granular in texture than a sorbet, granitas are easily made at home and can be flavored with anything. Make them with fruit juices or purées for the kids and prepare a granita with your favorite summer cocktail for an adults-only cool treat. Traditionally flavored with coffee, granitas can also make a modert twist on cold soup, are perfect palate cleansers in between courses and will make an nice light dessert for your next dinner party.

[email protected]The granita was a little icy for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't freeze it for long enough.
