Granite in Water Bottles with Currants, Cherries, Pomegranates, Etc

Granits en Carafes a la Groseille, aux Cerises, Grenades, etc

Granites are made the same as water ices, flavored with any desired fruits, the sole difference being that they must not be worked and must only attain fourteen degrees of the saccharometer; when the composition is ready pour it in water bottles having very wide necks; pack these in ice with half as much salt as for ordinary ices. Detach from the sides with a small boxwood spatula. Serve in the same decanters or else in glasses.
