W

hen the weather is so hot that you can’t even think clearly, the best thing is to get to the beach and take a dive into the sea, right? It just washes off all the heat, the sweat and the fatigue; it wipes all the stress and brings back the harmony between you and Mother Nature.

ranita [ɡraˈniːta] is a frozen dessert that originated in Sicily, Italy. It is made of sugar, water and flavor of your choice – fruit juice, wine, coffee, etc. It is incredibly easy to make it, and once you taste it, you will realize what a refreshing and pleasant dessert it is!

“F

rozen dessert” Now – that’s a nice thought, right? Did you think of an ice cream? I did! The supermarket freezer loaded with different brands and flavors of ice cream, or a local ice cream shop with window display full of freshly made artisan ice cream! Mhm, that image is certainly worth a thousand spoons…sorry – words! I’m so distracted now that only a hefty dosage of frozen delight can repair my train of thoughts, and I think I have just the thing in my freezer! Chocolate, half a gallon of course! O.K! Now I can talk about frozen desserts until brain freeze hits me!
