It's almost 2am here in Marbella and as my holiday in Spain is ending, I'm getting super emotional about leaving the familia in a few hours.. Time just passes too quickly and I can never get enough of them.. But I'm also looking forward to being back at home in Dubai, in my little kitchen, walking into Kitsch Cupcakes with the scent of freshly baked yummies in the air, working with my amazing team and last but not least chilling with my closies for a coffee at Kitsch or a comfy dinner at home.. So even though I have a heavy heart leaving Marbella, there is somewhat of a smile on my face as I'm going back home...
This is a very refreshing and simple Granita recipe featured in the June issue Harper's Bazaar Arabia.. Perfect for this hot weather ;)
