Coffee Granita

• 3 cups lukewarm strong coffee or 3 cups espresso
• 12 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 3 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
• 1 teaspoon oranges or 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• whipped cream

1. Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar melts.
2. Pour mixture into 9 by 13-inch metal pan and place on level shelf in freezer for half an hour.
3. (Mixture should only come about 1/2 - iinch up the side of the pan.)
4. Remove from freezer and using a dinner fork, scrape any ice crystals that have formed on the side or bottom of the pan.
5. Return to freezer and repeat scraping every 30 minutes for 3 to 4 hours.
6. Once mixture is thoroughly frozen, fluff with a fork and allow flakes to "dry" in freezer another half hour before serving.
7. When served, the granita should look like a fluffy pile of dry brown crystals.
8. Scoop into goblets and top with barely sweetened whipped cream, add additional citrus zest if desired.
