Health and fertility benefits of Coffee-Cardamom Granita
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
Ingredients
4 teaspoons instant coffee
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups hot water
Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan and freeze for 1 hour. Scrape the frozen granita around the edges into the center and freeze for about 2 hours longer, scraping every 30 minutes, until the granita is icy and flaky throughout.
