Champagne granita

1. In a saucepan, bring champagne to a boil, with water and sugar. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise into two halves, with the tip of a knife, scrape the vanilla seeds. When it starts boiling, add the vanilla seeds along with the vanilla pods. Leave on the heat for 5 more minutes. Then, cool down.

2. Pour the mixture in a shallow bowl and place it in the freezer. Let take, and every 15 minutes, scrape up ice to obtain fine granita texture. Return to freezer.

3. Serve the granita in champagne glasses.

Our tip : serve the champagne granita with a slice of lightly caramelized pineapple or a passion fruit salad.
