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.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The granita was refreshing and flavorful, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the granita to freeze properly. I think I might have used too much liquid. I'll try it again with less liquid next time.

This granita was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have added too much sugar. I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of green tea, but this granita was delicious! The lemon juice and sugar helped to balance out the bitterness of the tea.
