Granita: The Refreshing Sicilian Frozen Treat

What’s arguably better than gelato?! Granita! Light and refreshing, granita is perfect for cooling off on a hot summer’s day! Made from ice flavored with fruit, it’s fresher than ice cream and a lighter texture than sorbet. Originally from Sicily, traditional granita flavours are based on popular Sicilian ingredients such as lemon, mandorla (almond), mint and pistachio (I highly recommend mandorla!) In Sicily, granita is not just a sweet treat. It’s a part of the culture and is eaten as part of a traditional Sicilian breakfast 🙊. I was shocked when I first heard this, but loved trying it in Sicily last summer! Have you tried granita yet?
