The Sicilian granita is a typical refreshment of Sicily, originally born in the province of Messina. In its basic recipe it is composed of water, sugar and lemon. From there it spread throughout Sicily, but we its best expression have in the Eastern coast of the island. Here the original taste of lemon went through many variations: The almond granita, probably born in the area of Avola, in Siracusano (if you have the more extensive cultivation of almonds Sicilian) is now the most popular flavor of the east coast of the island, often coupled with the taste chocolate. The granite coffee and strawberry are a speciality of the city of Messina, usually served in a glass when the bottom is made half of granite and the rest covered with cream, strictly fresh. Very popular in Catanese are the taste pistachio (originally from Bronte) and taste the fruit: blacks mulberry, peach, strawberry, tangerine, pineapple. Not to mention the great tradition of the 'Aces "(outskirts of Acireale, between Catania and Messina) in the production of granite. Served in glasses, originally accompanied by bread, now goes willingly with the typical Sicilian brioche made with the egg and form a base surmounted by a semi-ball.
