refreshing granizado de caf� ...
When you take a break in your day for a refreshing drink ... what do you usually have?
More often than not, it will be a cup of coffee.
As well as being enjoyable, it gives you that slight "lift".
But, what do you do if you fancy a coffee and the weather's boiling hot - as it often is in Spain?
The answer is to choose a granizado de caf�.
You'll find this drink readily-available in Spanish caf�s and restaurants, especially during the hot, summer months.
So, what exactly is a granizado?
Granizado is a mushy, icy drink with a straw in it - sort of half-way between an iced lolly and a drink.
You sip a little liquid from the glass ... wait awhile for some more to melt ... then drink that ...
Included in the Spanish drinks recipe below is T�a Mar�a, that delicious Spanish coffee liqueur, which adds flavor and gives the granizado an extra kick.
That is entirely optional though, as is the cinnamon powder.
