Incredible Coffee

This sounds like a very tasty and fairly simple recipe. Decaf coffee beans can be substituted for regular beans. I do not drink alcoholic beverages, so flavored coffee beans would be my choice to take the place of using liquer. You can also substitute a coffee flavored syrup.
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
4 cups water
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups whole coffee beans (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup coffee liqueur (such as Tia Maria or Kahlúa)
Preparation
Combine 4 cups water and sugar in large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil 3 minutes. Stir in coffee beans; boil 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat; cover and let steep until mixture is cool, about 3 hours. Strain liquid into 13×9x2-inch glass baking dish; discard coffee beans in strainer. Add coffee liqueur to liquid in dish (or syrup); stir to blend. Freeze until firm, stirring every 45 minutes, about 5 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and keep frozen.)

Before serving, scrape surface of granita with fork until crystals form. Using ice cream scoop, scoop out granita and serve.

Impress your friends and start with the freshest and most incredible coffee around!
