I'm late to this post, but this is such a fun idea! I tried a hibiscus + lime concoction last night--it came out perfectly tart and delicious. Thanks for the inspiration. :)

Yum! I haven't eaten granita for ages, not sure why 🤷‍♀️ I truly love ones with lemons or melons 🍋🧊 Must try these orange and coffee-flavored!

All these look delicious! I saw a recipe for Raspberry Hibiscus that I'm going to try with the flowers I dried from my plant. :)

Thanks for sharing the recipe, Jolene. I could use one right now, as it is sweltering here in Italy 😅 I love all granita flavors but coffee (espresso) with whipped cream is my absolute favorite.

I’ve heard of granitas but never tried to make one. The blood orange and coffee flavors sound wonderful--and what a perfect dessert on a hot summer night! Thanks for sharing these recipes, Jolene! Wishing you a fabulous vacation! You totally deserve it! 💐

These look so refreshing. I‘be never made a granita, but I’ll give it a try. I have such limited freezer space now, but I’ll make room. Enjoy your vacation time! 💕

I love granitas! There’s an ice cream shop near me that makes a delicious lemon one. The coffee one you linked looks like a great way to switch up my summer iced coffee game. Thanks for sharing, Jolene! Hope you have a great vacation!!

Thank you, Kiki! The first granita I ever had was a lemon one in Italy and loved it. I think I’ll make some lemon 🍋 soon!

As you would say, ‘chilled’ 😉❤️

Great!! In fact my mother used to prepare the coffee granita, but we call it here "granizado"... I have to try the blood orange one, thanks!!
