This week’s cover story is all about the wonderful simplicity of ice-cold granita:
A lightly sweetened liquid — wine, juice, even coffee — is frozen, agitated periodically to keep it from freezing solid, then shaved into ice crystals or grains (hence the name) before serving. It’s perfect as a palate cleanser between courses, served at the end of the meal as a light dessert or dished up as a quick sweet — or savory — snack.
No special equipment. No hard labor. And the payoff is amazing. Perfect for summer!
