We drank some of the coffee straight out of the bottle, and then I used a couple of the bottles supplemented with some espresso, to make coffee granita. Dave and I both love granitas, especially coffee, so I usually keep some in the freezer for simple desserts.
I don't use an exact recipe to make coffee granita. To make it: put very strong brewed coffee into a shallow dish and sweeten it with some sugar. Add a bit more sugar than you think you'll need as once frozen, the sweetness of the coffee is less pronounced. Once the coffee starts to get slushy, mix it with a fork every 30 minutes or so to prevent big ice crystals. Once it's all frozen, serve it plain or with some whipped cream.
Here's a more exact coffee granita recipe from epicurious.com.

I don't like coffee but that sounds kinda yummy for those that do. Anthony often makes coffee coolers...he blends ice, milk, instant cappuccino mix, a squirt of chocolate, and I think that's it. He loves them. He'll have to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteAnthony's recipe sounds so yummy. I love cold coffee drinks the best.
