CHAMPAGNE GRANITA RECIPE
PREPARATION: 20 MINS | COOKING: 10 MINS | SERVES: 8
INGREDIENTS
• 200g sugar
• 0.75L Demi-Sec Champagne
• 1.25L water
• 1 organic lemon
PREPARATION
1.Grate the lemon peel. Place the peel in a sieve and immerse in a pan of boiling water for 1 minute.
2. Squeeze the lemon, remove the seeds. Pour it into a saucepan with 1.25L of water.
3. Bring the lemon water to the boil with the sugar. Leave to simmer for 3 minutes, then pour the syrup into a bowl.
4. Add the blanched lemon peel.
5. After cooling, pour in the Champagne. Stir well.
6. Transfer the mixture to a wide, long dish so that as much of the surface as possible is in contact with the cold air. (No more than 2 to 3 cm thick)
7. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, as well as the individual cups, so that they are cold when served.
8. Every 15 minutes, slit the surface of the ice with a fork as it solidifies. This will freeze it into ice crystals. The consistency must remain liquid so that the granita can be drunk.
9. Serving: In the chilled glasses, arrange the granita in a dome shape.
10. Decorate with a mint leaf.
A PALATE CLEANSER CALLED TROU NORMAND!
This recipe does not require an ice-cream maker, and this subtle-tasting elixir will serve as a palate cleanser, also known as Trou Normand for special occasions: Christmas, New Year's Eve, weddings, birthdays and other special occasions.
A variant of the chic and striking Trou Normand that will not leave anyone indifferent among your guests.
Care should be taken to select a Demi-Sec Champagne which has a higher sweetness than Brut Champagne. This treat can therefore also be enjoyed with dessert.
Where does the name Trou Normand come from?
As its name suggests, this gastronomic tradition comes from Normandy: it consists of drinking a small glass of calvados between different dishes to aid digestion.
With time, the brandy is now found on every table in France and is accompanied by a sorbet during festive meals, the famous "colonel".
A sorbet that can even be combined with the alcohol of your choice: green chartreuse, yellow chartreuse, génépi, cognac, armagnac, vodka, cherry kirsch, tequila, mezcal, cointreau...
