Recipe Introduction


Haven't tried this, but it sounds interesting and different.


List of Ingredients




For lemon flavored:

2 cups (500 ml) water
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 cup (250 ml) lemon juice

For orange flavored:

2 cups (500 ml) water
3/4 cup (180 ml) sugar
1 cup (250 ml) orange juice

For coffee flavored:

1 cup (250 ml) water
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
2 cups (500 ml) extra strong espresso coffee

For cappuccino flavored:

1 cup (250 ml) water
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) extra strong espresso coffee
1/2 cup (125 ml) non-fat milk

For strawberry flavored:

1 cup (250 ml) water
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed in an electric blender or food processor
2 Tbs (30 ml) lemon juice
(If using frozen strawberries, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup, 60 ml)

Recipe



Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring just until the sugar is dissolved. Boil uncovered for exactly 5 minutes, remove from the heat immediately, and allow to cool to room temperature. Add the remaining ingredients, stir, and pour into a metal pan, such as a cake pan. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork and scraping the ice crystals that form around the edge of the pan. When finished, the granite should have a fine, crumbly texture, like coarse snow. For a coarser texture that is preferred by some, freeze the liquid in ice cube trays, and then crush the cubes in an ice crusher or food processor immediately prior to serving. Each recipe makes about 3 cups (750 ml).
