A different kind of iced coffee.

Of course, we are in the middle of iced coffee season. But everyone knows iced coffee with ice cream. That’s why we have a completely different recipe for you: Coffee granita. A modified form of the Italian lemon granita (which, by the way, is also quite tasty).

How it’s done:

Ingredients:

  • 17 fl oz strong coffee (for example Mount Hagen Arabica Crema)
  • Approx. ½ cup sugar (coconut or date sugar) or 1/3 cup maple syrup, or whatever you prefer for sweetening


Prepare the coffee, stir in the sugar (as much as you like).

Let it cool and pour it into a shallow dish with a lit, freeze overnight.

Use a fork to scratch off the coffee ice block and fill the granita into glasses. If you like, you can put vanilla ice cream on the bottom. And cream on top. For our part, we like to keep it puristic.

Happy refreshment!
