YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Gelupo’ s elderflower cucumber and gin granita recipe By You Magazine - May 16, 2021 This is a very English granita, if such a thing is not contradictory – three flavours that, above all, scream of Queen and Country. Steven Joyce MAKES ABOUT 1 LITRE AND SERVES 5-8 4 large cucumbers 100ml gin 75ml elderflower cordial 180g caster sugar Possibly a little water Juice the cucumbers (with their skins): if you have a juicer, so much the better. If not, grate them finely or purée them in a food processor, then strain through a sieve or muslin into a bowl, twisting and squeezing hard to extract all the juice. Stir together the cucumber juice with the gin, elderflower cordial and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Check the volume is a litre – if it’s short, make it up with water. Transfer the mixture to a wide dish and put it in the freezer. Once it starts to freeze at the edges, every 10-15 minutes stir it with a fork or whisk it, until the mixture is almost completely frozen and icy (this will take a long time – perhaps 4 hours). It is ready to serve in this slightly wet, slushy state. To keep it longer, let it freeze solid, and take it out to thaw for 20 minutes or so, breaking it up with a fork before serving. (Chill your serving glasses for at least 20 minutes in the freezer before you serve.) Buy the book Our recipes are from Gelupo Gelato by Jacob Kenedy, published by Bloomsbury, price £14.99.
