How Do You Make Cointreau Granita?
• Put the sugar and water into a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. • Put the sugar and water syrup to one side and allow to cool. • Add the cointreau, lime juice, and orange rind to the sugar syrup. Mix well. • Pour the mixture into a flat metal baking sheet with slight sides. Place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours. Take out and fluff up with a fork and return to the freezer. Keep stirring this way every hour to break up the ice crystals. It is ready when the granita has become light and soft. Serve.
