Citrus Coffee Granita

     I have had an extremely long love affair with coffee. I actually can not even function
         in the morning without it. Before my feet even hit the floor...I'm dreaming of my
             first cup. There is nothing better than taking that first sip and for that very
         brief moment all is right in my world. Ha. I know that is a tad extreme but, it's
        very true. I love you coffee...always have and always will. So this dessert for me,
    is the stuff that makes dreams come true. Make it as sweet and as strong as you'd like.
             

                                                         Citrus Coffee Granita

        5 cups of strong brewed coffee
        5 tablespoons of sugar or more depending on how sweet you like it.
        1 to 2 tablespoons Kahlua, optional
        orange zest (optional)
        fresh sweetened whipped cream
        mint

      1) Place coffee in a 9 x 13 pan and mix sugar until dissolved add Kahlua.
      2) Set aside to cool , about 1 hour.
      3) Set in freezer and about every 30 minutes scrape with fork until you get
      desired ice. It takes some time but is so worth it.
      4) Serve in glasses with sweetened whipped cream and mint.
