Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 8 cups root beer soda (,divided)
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instruction

  • Pour 4 cups root beer into a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; freeze the soda for about 45 minutes, until it just starts to harden on the top and sides of the pan. 
  • Scrape the partially frozen soda with the tines of a fork (including the sides), breaking up any large pieces. Repeat this process every 30-45 minutes over the course of a 3 hours.
  • Return the granita pan to the freezer for 1 more hour, then briefly run the fork through it again before serving.
  • In the meantime, bring the remaining 4 cups of root beer to a boil over high, then take it down to a very low gentle simmer until it’s reduced by half and syrupy, about 30 minutes. Transfer it to a spouted measuring cup (for easy pouring) and let it cool completely.
  • Spoon 3/4 cup root beer granita into each of 6 clear tumbler glasses or dessert cups. Top granita with scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle each with 4 teaspoons root beer syrup.
  • Serve and enjoy!
