Picture from the Internet. A Lemon Granita.
Description:
A refreshing way to cleanse the palate between courses, but since we don't have "courses" at home, I usually make this during summer.
Granitas are made from slushy ice rather than frozen solid, so they have to be served quite quickly.
Ingredients:
* LEMON Granita:
3 lemons
200 ml lemon juice
115 grams caster sugar (also spelled sometimes as castor sugar)
500 ml cold water
* COFFEE Granita
2 tbsp instant coffee
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp hot water
600 ml cold water
2 tbsp rhum or brandy
Directions:
* LEMON Granita
1. Finely grate the lemon rind. Place the lemon rind, juice and caster sugar in a pan then bring the mixture into a boil and simmer for 5 minutes or so, or until thick and syrupy.
2. Wait until its cooled, then stir in the cold water and pour into freezer container with a lid. Freeze the granita for 5 hours, stirring occasionally to break up the ice.
3. You can serve it as a palate cleanser between meal courses.
* COFFEE Granita
1. Place the cofffee and sguar in a bowl and pour in the hot water, stirring until completely dissolved.
2. Stir in the cold water and the rhum or brandy.
3. Pour this mixture into a shallow freezer container with a lid. Freeze this for at least 6 hours, stirring every 1 to 2 hours in order to create a grainy texture. You can pair it with cream when serving it after dinner
