    Strain 1/2 of the coffee into the cold baking pan and 1/2 into a pitcher. Return the baking pan to the freezer and put the pitcher in the refrigerator.
  • 5
    Check the pan in the freezer after about 2 hours. Using a large fork, scrape any frozen coffee around in the pan, continue to check and scrape the pan every hour for an additional 2 hours.
  • 6
    Once it is made, the granita may be used as needed for up to one week. (keep covered with plastic wrap).
  • 7
    To serve fill a medium glass 1/2 full with the frozen coffee granita.
  • 8
    Drizzle 1 teaspoon sweetened condensed milk over the granita.
  • 9
    Fill the glass with the cold refrigerated coffee. Top with milk as desired and serve.
