Granita \u2013 a dessert straight from Sicily<\/h2>\n

Granita is a traditional Sicilian dessert that is phenomenal in its simplicity and surprising in its unique taste. To make it, you need literally two or three ingredients and a little patience as it needs to be mixed several times while freezing. Mixing is necessary to get an interesting, lumpy structure, which actually gives granita its name as \u201cgranire\u201d is Italian for \u201cforming grains\u201d. In addition, it is this characteristic texture that distinguishes granita from sorbet. You can eat the dessert traditionally with a spoon or, when it starts to melt, drink it through a straw. The original granita is most often prepared with coffee or fruit juices, but there\u2019s no reason why you couldn\u2019t make it from your favorite tea and enjoy a tasty, icy refreshment.<\/p>\n

Tea in the lead role<\/h2>\n

The perfect basis for a tea granita will simply be your favorite tea<\/strong><\/a>. Black tea<\/a><\/strong> in different varieties, green teas<\/strong><\/a>, as well as all kinds of fruit or herbal teas<\/strong><\/a> will work just as fine. Tea blends with the addition of herbs, spices or fruit will also work well \u2013 I\u2019m sure that everyone will find something they like.\u00a0Anyway, regardless of the type of tea, it is worth paying special attention to its quality, so that it is prepared from whole leaves, pieces of dried fruit and spices.\u00a0Such an infusion will provide a unique taste and aroma of the dessert. In addition, the drink should be intense and concentrated, as it loses some strength during freezing.<\/p>\n

Additions<\/h2>\n

The taste and refreshing value of a tea granita can be boosted with appropriately selected additions. The most common variation in the dessert is citrus juice, which gives an extra refreshing note. Aromatic spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla and coriander are also great. Seriously, spices work as well in warming drinks as in frozen ones. So, we can reach for fresh fruit, ginger root, as well as sweet, full-flavored fruit or flower syrups, e.g. elderberry or lavender<\/a>.<\/p>\n
