"Granitas have a coarser, grainier texture than sorbets. If you prefer a smoother dessert, omit step 3 and prepare the espresso mixture in your ice cream maker. I counted the freezing time in the preparation time. Enjoy!"

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
