Granita
[NOUN]What is "granita"
Granita is a traditional Italian frozen dessert that is similar to a slushie or shaved ice. It is made from a mixture of water, sugar, and flavorings such as fruit juice or coffee, which is then frozen and scraped with a fork to create a light and fluffy texture. The scraping process breaks up the ice crystals and creates a texture that is somewhere between a sorbet and a snow cone. Granita is often served as a refreshing dessert or snack on hot summer days and is a popular treat in Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean. It comes in a variety of flavors, such as lemon, strawberry, or espresso, and can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a splash of liqueur.
Examples
1. The last thing, obviously, is granita. -

4. Instead, the granitas were considerably lighter, with flavors like Teavana Youthberry White Tea and Strawberry Lemon Limeade.
