What is Granita?
Granita is a traditional Italian dessert that’s similar to sorbet but with a coarser texture. The result is a refreshing and flavorful frozen drink that’s not as heavy as ice cream but just as satisfying. Granita is often served in small cups or bowls, making it a great treat for a party or a fun, shareable snack.
Ingredients for Raspberry Granita
Making our Raspberry Granita requires only a handful of ingredients that are easy to find and allow the natural raspberry flavor to shine. (You can find the exact measurements and recipe further below in the blog post.)
- Frozen raspberries: Frozen raspberries are the star of this granita. No need to thaw them beforehand—just blend them straight into the mixture.
- Agave syrup monk fruit: Agave syrup adds a touch of sweetness without overpowering the raspberries. You can adjust the sweetness depending on your preference. Monk fruit can be used as a sugar substitute for those looking for a lower-calorie option.
- Liquid Remedy’s Raspberry Kombucha: This gives the granita a fizzy, tangy kick. The kombucha adds a unique flavor and depth that sets this granita recipe apart from others.
- Lemon juice: It’s optional but adds a nice zesty contrast to the sweetness of the raspberries.
- Optional toppings: For garnish, you can add (vegan) whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, fresh raspberries, or mint leaves to enhance the flavor and presentation.
Why Kombucha in Raspberry Granita?
In addition to the amazing flavors that kombucha brings to this granita, kombucha is packed with live cultures, which are beneficial for gut health. Kombucha without alcohol is a great choice for those looking for a sugar-free drink that promotes digestion and supports the immune system.
Additionally, our kombucha contains antioxidants and organic acids, which contribute to overall health. With a variety of flavors available, our organic kombucha is convenient and can be stored in your pantry or fridge for easy access.
