No summer without a little granita

"Granita Siciliana," or granita in French, comes straight from Sicily and has been known since ancient times. The Romans even brought snow from the Abruzzo massif, a region in south-central Italy, to make this dessert.

At Les 2 Marmottes, there's no question of trekking across snowy peaks; the recipes we've concocted for you are much simpler to make:

- Crushed ice

- Your favorite cold infusions

- A few hours to wait

- And that's it.
