Today we are making Coconut Granita .
This refreshing Italian dessert will help you beat the heat this summer! 
My easy version has just 3 ingredients, including Torani Coconut syrup, and is a fruity slushy treat.

 Torani believes in flavor for all and opportunity for all. In the beginning, Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre visited family in Lucca, Italy. They returned home to San Francisco with handwritten recipes, which they used to create authentic flavored syrups. Needless to say, the syrups we’re a hit. A lot has happened since then, but our belief has remained the same: Flavor for All, Opportunity for All. It means that not only are the products we make inclusive and approachable, but so is our success. We believe everything starts with people, and the only way to truly succeed is to succeed together. #ToraniFlavor
