INGREDIENTS

METHOD

• Make a syrup by combining sugar and water in a pot and bringing to the boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add glucose, stir until combined. Cool.
• In a small saucepan, bring tequila to a boil and reduce by half. (the flavour will be intensified and the alcohol will be burnt off). Cool.
• Combine tequila with syrup, lime juice and triple sec.
• Pour mixture into a shallow container and freeze. As it freezes (it will take 6-8 hrs or overnight) 3 or 4 times during the freezing break up ice crystals with a fork.
• Fork into glasses to serve.

* Liquid glucose adds sweetness to the granita, without adding extra sugar which would hinder the freezing. It is available at most chemists.
