I Introduce Myself

I close the eyes and think at beautiful moments passed in the places that I have had the pleasure to visit.

The memory of the words exchanged with people that I will not meet more, feel smell of a cake eaten for case in a place for case and…not forget more the sapore..

Conserve of every place the colors, the scents, the culture.

I'm Italia of the south, I have 35 years and two beautiful twin children . Open this blog is for me like opening the doors of my house, propose my recipes and receive the yours, make known to you our traditions and know those yours, to make along travel through the wealth of the foods that my earth offers every day and portami to house something of yours. I am Italian, and I decided to write a blog in English to learn (I ask excuse for the errors!!) and because I would want to share all this with who as me through the kitchen it succeeds to dream…

GRANITA DI CAFFE'


Picture from cartolineweb.net

How hot guys!
Do not take it anymore, they are in the house with the air conditioning off because you have no idea, the air burns ...
For so I do not write on the blog (I have no strength!) but this elixir of freshness and goodness I will gladly offer: granita coffee with cream.
In Sicily la granita is famous, we eat at breakfast,wonderful!!! We Puglia, coffee love  that is made ​​in any way, and the granita coffee is a classic.
What can I say, Italian goodness.




Ingredients

 espresso
sugar (icing sugar better)
whipped cream
sour cherries in syrup (optional)

Prepare the espresso, pour it into a bowl and sweetened to taste.
Mix well and store in the freezer, taking care to stir from time to time in order to keep the granular compound (if you have an ice cream maker will avoid this step.)
Pour the whipping cream in a bowl, then add the powdered sugar with a whisk, whip the cream cold (better if we kept in the freezer for about half an hour).
Distribute the iced coffee in transparent glasses or cups, garnish with whipped cream and finally, if you want...the apotheosis, garnish with a cherry in syrup
