   To make easy homemade coffee granita, first combine the brewed coffee, sugar, and any optional ingredients in a large mixing cup. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a long shallow baking pan, and freeze for 1 1/2 hours. Then use a fork to stir the slushy coffee and break up any frozen pieces. Return to the freezer. Repeat the stirring and scraping process about every half hour, about five repetitions total until the mixture achieves its classic icy granita texture. Serve in chilled glasses, or cover and freeze overnight or until ready to eat. Keep leftovers covered and frozen for up to three months.View Nutrition Facts
