Method
- Pour the hot coffee into a saucepan, add the sugar and place over a medium heat for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the vodka, then tip into a freezer-proof container and leave to cool.
- Freeze for 6-8 hrs, stirring with a fork every 2 hrs to separate the ice crystals, until completely set.
- Pour the cream into a mixing bowl and whisk to soft peaks. Divide between 6 glasses. Top each with the granita and serve immediately.
