The Good Bit
- Put the sugar and water in a pan and heat gently until the solution is clear and all the sugar has dissolved. If you are using beans, now's the time to grind them to a fine powder, then add to the sugar solution and leave for 5 minutes.
- Strain your mixture through your fine sieve or muslin into the airtight container, cool and the place in the freezer.
- Every 30 minutes of so you need to check, and break up any ice crystals with your fork, making sure to scrape around the sides, eventually you'll get a grainy ice mixture. To serve, divide into 4 glasses, whip up your cream until it is firm, then add a dollop to the top, sprinkle over some drinking chocolate powder, decorate with a coffee bean or 2 and enjoy.
