Beat the Heat with a Refreshing Orange Granizado Recipe from Monsieur Cuisine

When the summer heat becomes unbearable, there’s nothing like a refreshing granizado to cool you down. This Orange Granizado recipe from Monsieur Cuisine is not only delicious but also easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of this icy treat to enjoy on a hot day.

Ingredients:

4 large oranges

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup water

Ice cubes

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Oranges

Start by washing the oranges thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue. Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the oranges and remove any seeds. Cut the oranges into chunks and set aside.

Time: 10 minutes

2. Make the Orange Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the orange chunks to the syrup and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the oranges are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Time: 15 minutes

3. Blend the Mixture

Once the orange syrup has cooled slightly, transfer it to a blender. Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp.

Time: 5 minutes

4. Freeze the Granizado

Pour the blended orange mixture into a shallow dish or pan. Place the dish in the freezer and let the mixture freeze for about 1 hour. Every 20 minutes, use a fork to scrape the mixture and break up any ice crystals that form.

Time: 1 hour

5. Serve and Enjoy

Once the granizado has reached a slushy consistency, it’s ready to serve. Scoop the granizado into serving glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves or orange slices. Enjoy this refreshing treat on a hot summer day!
