COFFEE GRANITA

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar melts.

2. 2

   Pour mixture into 9 by 13−inch metal pan and place on level shelf in freezer for half an hour. (Mixture should only come about 1/4−inch up the side of the pan.)

3. 3

   Remove and use a dinner fork to scrape any ice crystals that have formed on the side or bottom of the pan.

4. 4

   Return to freezer and repeat scraping every 20 to 30 minutes for 3 to 4 hours.

5. 5

   Once mixture is thoroughly frozen, fluff with a fork and allow flakes to 'dry' in freezer another half hour before serving.

6. 6

   When served, the granita should look like a fluffy pile of dry brown crystals.
