My train has just pulled out of Roma Termini after a day of sightseeing in the heat 😂 We considered not going (we’re on holiday in Sicily for a few weeks and booked the Rome day trip a while ago) but went for it. A LOT of granita, gelato and iced cappuccinos were consumed, we survived and had a great time but yes...don’t go to Rome in July guys!
Sounds like a great idea for the summer. I'll keep it in mind. Seeing as we had a heavy white frost yesterday morning, I'll be saving it for our Australian summer. Thanks, Elizabeth.
I risked off to make this yesterday. But 24 hours later it is not freezing - it’s staying syrupy. No ice crystals. Obviously I mucked up the proportions, but any specific advice other than “follow the recipe exactly, you dummy”? I put in a quart of simple syrup, 3 cups lemon juice and pulp, 1/2 cup of homemade fig syrup. Too much sugar? Something in the figs? Any way to rescue it?
I was thinking of lemon granita (or orange) with Cinzano Rosso. Mmmm, maybe I'll try it and let you know.
Only 93F in Grass Valley CA today.

Is iced tea a “thing” in Italy? I love iced coffee, especially with cream on top. Keep cool wherever you are in the world.
I made after I saw your Instagram story! So perfect, thank you, Elizabeth!
So very welcome during these hot days. Thank you!
