Heard about granitas? Granitas are a blended drink that remains somewhat grainy in texture due to the sugar content which prevents the liquid from freezing solid. You can get them made with tea or coffee. Think you can't make them at home? Here's how to do it! Start with this basic recipe - one 12 oz can frozen concentrated lemonade, 36 oz cold tea. Mix well and freeze in ice cube trays. This is the basis for tea granitas without all the sugar found in commercial granita mixes. Look below for the recipe for basic coffee granita mix.
