Iced mochas meets tea when this frozen Chocolate Chai Coffee Granita recipe combines coffee with masala chai (or "chai tea") for a spicy-sweet flavor. It can be prepared as a slushie or as Italian shaved ice, depending on how often you stir it as it freezes.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Cold-Brewed Coffee Infusion Time: 12 hours
Total Time: 16 hours, 10 minutes
Yield: Two to three servings
Ingredients:
- 1 c. cold-brewed coffee or cold coffee
- 3 tbsp. powdered masala chai tea mix, such as David Rio Tiger Spice Chai Mix or Oregon Chai Tea Mix
- 2 tbsp. good quality milk chocolate or dark chocolate syrup
Preparation:
- Mix the ingredients well in a shallow, freezer-safe dish.
- Optional: Cover the dish with a lid or with plastic wrap.
- Place the container in the freezer.
- After about one hour, scrape a fork through the mixture. Repeat every 45 minutes until the mixture is fully frozen. Scrape it less often for a chunkier mixture (like Italian ice) or more often for a smoother mixture (like sorbet).
- Enjoy immediately, or cover the container and scrape the granita once more before serving. Use within two weeks.
