Ingredients for 8 servings:

  • 500 ml red wine
  • 150 ml syrup (sangria syrup)
  • 1 lemon(s)
  • 100 g sugar
  • 500 ml water
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 shot of brown rum

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Rest time approx. 8 hours; Total time approx. 8 hours 5 minutes

quick to make and very refreshing

Squeeze the lemon, combine the juice with the remaining ingredients, and stir well to dissolve the sugar completely. Pour into a tightly sealed container and freeze in the freezer. Stir occasionally to break up any ice crystals that form. To serve, scrape the surface of the granité with a spoon and spoon the shavings into dessert glasses. Because of the relatively high alcohol content for granité, the freezing point is lower than usual, and the ice remains relatively soft. This is also why the sangria syrup is used. If only sangria were used, the freezing point would either be so low that the granité wouldn’t be solid enough, or the amount would have to be reduced, resulting in too little flavor.
