Blackcurrant Sylvan Spirits is a mouth-watering spirit made using the vibrant berries that thrive in Helen’s forest garden at Eastbrook Farm.
- 100g sugar
- 375ml water
- 500ml Champagne or sparkling wine
- 80ml Organic Blackcurrant Sylvan Spirit
- Greek yoghurt, to serve
In a medium pan, heat the sugar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the Champagne. Stir in the Sylvan Spirits. Taste – if needed, add a little more sugar.
Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square or equivalent size dish, cover tightly, then freeze for at least 4 hours. At least once every hour, use a fork to lightly scrape the surface to break up the frozen juice into tiny crystals. Once the granita has been scraped to a fluffy consistency, cover the dish and freeze until needed.
Place a scoop of Greek yogurt in the bottom of a chilled glass. Add granita to the yogurt, serve immediately.
