Granita
Sicilian dessert
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Granita (Italian: [ɡraˈniːta])[1] or granita siciliana (Italian: [ɡraˈniːta sitʃiˈljaːna]) is a semi-frozen dessert made with sugar, water, and various flavorings. Originally from Sicily, it is available throughout Italy in varying forms.[2] Food writer Jeffrey Steingarten says that "the desired texture seems to vary from city to city" on the island; on the west coast and in Palermo, it is at its chunkiest, and in the east, it is nearly as smooth as sorbet.[3]
Ingredients
Common and traditional flavoring ingredients include lemon juice, mandarin oranges, jasmine, coffee,[4] almonds, mint, and when in season wild strawberries and black mulberries.
