Water

Some say that New York City tap water is among the best-tasting in the country. Granted, they haven’t tasted the tap water in every single city in the United States, but New York water has a very clean, crisp, and fresh taste that is suitable for sorbets, ice pops, and granités. Having said that, it is important to know what is in the water that comes out of the tap in your area. Hard waters have a very unpleasant taste, not to mention a number of minerals that will affect the texture of your finished product. If you are unsure of the water’s quality, it is best to use inexpensive bottled water, just to be on the safe side. This will also ensure a consistent product that you can count on.
