| COFFEE GRANITA: 1cup sugar
2 tablespoons of honey
dash of cinnamon
½ shot of Kahlúa
½ shot of Dark Rum
2 cups of double strength coffee
Brew the Coffee:
I found that a blend of 75% Kenya 25% Java Timor (roasted to a dark but
not oily level) works particularly well as iced coffee and excels in this
recipe. But if you don't have access to this type of blend, any dark
roasted, unflavored coffee will do. All you have to do is brew the coffee
at double strength.
Mix the Ingredients:
Mix the sugar, cinnamon and alcohol in a separate (glass) dish and add the
hot coffee. Put the mixture in the freezer.
Freeze for 1 hour. Take it out of the freezer and use a fork to break up
the ice.
Add 1/2 cup of crushed ice or chipped ice.
Continue freezing for a total of 3½ hours. Break it up every hour.
Garnish:
Spoon the granita mixture into a serving dish and garnish with whipped
cream.
Serves 4.
