The granita is a Sicilian dessert that is made with fruit, sugar, and water. It is typically served as a refreshing treat on a hot day. The first granitas were made with snow from Mount Etna, and they were flavored with fruit juices and syrups. Over time, the granita evolved into a more sophisticated dessert, and it is now made with a variety of fruits and flavors.
