Procedures to obtain the typical Sicilian granita at home:

There are at least three ways to make the typical Sicilian granita at home with our mother drinks or with our almond blocks. Let's start with the simplest one illustrated here:

First Method

If you choose citrus flavours: Mix the two elements (Mother Drink and water) well with the help of a simple spoon, pour the mixture into a container which you will close with its lid, and place it in the freezer.

If you choose the almond flavour: Dissolve the dough in 800 ml of water, adding it little by little. Mix with the help of a whisk or using an immersion blender, and if you prefer you can add some sugar (maximum 100 g). Pour the mixture into a container that you will close with its lid, and place it in the freezer.

Keep the container in the freezer for at least 10 hours, the time necessary for the mix of Mother Drink and water to solidify completely, taking on the shape of the container.
At this point, take the container out of the freezer and, after leaving it for a few minutes at room temperature, start scraping the solid mix with a
common kitchen fork to obtain a very fine grain. Grate with a fork until you get the desired amount and serve with the brioche.

Second Method

If you prefer a more velvety consistency, once the preparation has solidified as illustrated in the first method, you can use a blender.
In this case, however, we recommend freezing the mix in smaller containers or shapes (the classic ice cube shapes will work fine), so as to obtain frozen cubes (even in less time!) that can easily be inserted into the blender.

Third Method

If you have less time available, we suggest another way with the same ingredients. Close the container with the mix and place it in the freezer; more or less every
half an hour, mix vigorously with a spoon, always scraping the frozen sides. Repeat this step until the granita has the consistency
desired. If you prefer, you can blend a little before serving, especially if you forgot to stir frequently. So, in about 4 hours your granita will be perfect!

All you have to do is take the right time and travel with your mind into the light and dilated time of the deep SOUTH!
