Ingredients

350 ml (1 and ½ cups) water
90 g (1/2 cup) white sugar
400 ml (13.5 fl oz/1 and 3/4 cups) strong coffee
Whipped cream for serving ((optional))

Steps

1
Brew your coffee and set it aside.
2
Make a sugar syrup by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil until the sugar has completely dissolved and turn off the heat.
3
Add the coffee to the sugar syrup, stir then let it go completely cold.
4
Once cold, pour the coffee mixture into a large freezer proof container and put in the freezer for 3 hours.
5
Remove and give the mixture a stir with a fork. Freeze the granita for another 2 hours, remove it and stir it again with a fork to break up the ice crystals. Repeat this every hour until you have a fluffy granita.
6
Freeze until needed. For serving, fill a small glass with granita and top with some whipped cream. I don’t sweeten my cream but you can if you prefer. Serve and enjoy!
