What Does A Sicilian-Style Breakfast Consist Of?

Italians usually make quick work of breakfast, and Sicily has its own unique spin on the traditional Italian breakfast, especially in the summer: an icy granita and a warm brioche.
Sicilians like to enjoy a warm brioche col tuppo, a brioche bun made with eggs and milk, flavored with vanilla or citrus, and formed into a pastry with a cute topknot.
Then, they'll dip these buns into a cool and creamy granita, which is usually flavored with coffee, chocolate, and almond, or sometimes with lemon, pistachio, and strawberry.
