The word &#8220;sorbet&#8221; comes from the Arabic <em data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"966\">sharbat<\/em>, meaning &#8220;fresh, sweetened drink,&#8221; and tells a fascinating story: during their rule over Sicily, Arab and Berber peoples discovered snow from Mount Etna, giving rise to what we now call granita and sorbet. <\/p><p data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1340\">Granita is not just a dessert: it is a symbol of <strong data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1279\">Sicilian lifestyle<\/strong>, a ritual of pleasure involving taste, sight and gesture.<\/p><hr data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1345\"><h2 data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1420\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1f4cd.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\udccd\">  Where to Eat the Best Sicilian Granita: Messina in First Place<\/h2><p data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1778\">Contrary to what many people think, <strong data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1513\">Sicilian granita is not eaten, it is faced!<\/strong><br data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1516\">If you want to taste the authentic one, forget Palermo and Syracuse: the heart of the perfect granita beats in Messina.
