Beat The Heat With This Rosé Wine Granita Recipe
December 14, 2017
Rosé Wine Granita
Let us say at the very start that while this recipe mentions the quantities/ proportions of all the ingredients, your experience would depend on the rosé wine you use whether it’s dry and sweet. We strongly recommend that you taste it at different stages before freezing, make the appropriate adjustments, and you wouldn’t go wrong. The instructions here suggest that you add half the quantity of sugar first, try the wine mixture to see if it needs more sweetening (In case you are using a sweet rosé), and add more sugar if required. Similarly, you can add more lemon juice if you think that the granita needs increased balancing acidity.
- 1 Cup rosé wine – use whatever you have at hand
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Edible fresh rose petals, to garnish
- Vanilla ice cream, to serve
-
In a bowl, take the wine, half the sugar and half the lemon juice. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Keep checking the wine at the bottom of the bowl for any sugar residue. Stir till the time there is none. Then check the wine for sweetness and acidity. Add more sugar and/ or lemon juice, if required.
-
Pour into a 7” x 11” baking dish and put in the freezer. The rate of the wine freezing would depend on A) your freezer settings and its effectiveness, and B) the surface area of your pan. Regardless, scrape the frozen wine using a fork in 30 minutes or so. Run the fork, prongs side down, from one end of the dish to another. Repeat this process every half an hour, 5-6 times
-
Finally scrape the granita and scoop into serving glasses, garnishing it with rose petals. Alternately, spoon over scooped vanilla ice cream. The contrast of smooth and creamy against icy and crystallised is heavenly!
1. There are versions of this recipe that use a combination of rose wine and water. We don’t want to dilute the dilute the wine here its bouquet, flavours and balance, which is why we have used no water.
2. This recipe makes a small portion-2 if you serve the granita all by itself, and 4 when it is served with vanilla ice cream.
