Ingredients-
2 cups lukewarm espresso or strong black coffee
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp coffee flavored liqueur(optional)
1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest
Method-
* Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar melts.
* Pour mixture into a metal dish and place on level shelf in freezer for half an hour. (Mixture should only come about 1/4-inch up the side of the dish)
* Remove and use a dinner fork to scrape any ice crystals that have formed on the side or bottom of the pan.
* Return to freezer and repeat scraping every 20 to 30 minutes for 3 to 4 hours.
* Once mixture is thoroughly frozen, fluff with a fork and allow flakes to "dry" in freezer another half hour before serving.
* When served, the granita should look like a fluffy pile of dry brown crystals.
* Scoop into goblets and top with barely sweetened whipped cream or sweet condensed milk.
* Add additional citrus zest if desired.
