Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup water
1/3 cup white sugar
1 cup strong espresso coffee
1 teaspoon (optional) vanilla extract

  • Cool granita mixture to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Freeze for 1 hour.
  • Stir the granita vigorously to break up ice crystals. Repeat freezing and breaking up process 4 to 5 more times, 2 to 2 1/2 hours total.
