Granissat d'ametla – almond granita

Mallorca’s summer drink: almonds, sugar, cinnamon, ice. Cold, creamy and naturally vegan.

Three in the afternoon, the cicadas are loud, and something cold that tastes of almonds clinks in the glass.

Everything included – down to the salt. Tick off what you already have – we'll bring the rest to your finca.

Heat the water with the sugar and cinnamon until the sugar has dissolved.
Take off the heat, stir in the ground almonds and leave to cool for at least 1 hour so the almonds release their flavour.
Blend everything very finely and stir in a squeeze of lemon juice. If you like it really smooth, pour it through a clean tea towel.
Pour into a shallow dish and put it in the freezer. After 45 minutes, scrape through with a fork, then two or three more times every 30 minutes.
Spoon into glasses and serve straight away.
