This is a refreshing granular ice, served in lovely stemmed glasses with a short decorative straw. It is a nice alternative to the Caffé Espresso.

1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups strong espresso coffee

In a 2-quart jar, stir together water and sugar until sugar is melted. Stir in the coffee. Place mixture in ice cube trays and freeze, stirring from time to time, to form a granular ice. If it freezes solid, crush the coffee cubes in a blender before serving. Serve with a splash of Kahlua and a tablespoon of cream. Serves 6.

Caffé Espresso is made with very finely ground Italian coffee, and is served in a demitasse or Espresso glass. In the absence of an Espresso coffee maker, you can purchase Instant Espresso in most markets. Traditionally served with a twist of lemon peel, I very much prefer the addition of a dash of Kahlua Liqueur and a dollup of whipped cream.
