Mango & Green Tea Sorbet


Cook Time: five minutes

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: twenty minutes

Ingredients:

2/3 cup water
1/3 cup loose green tea leaves
1/2 cup sugar
three ripe mangoes
three Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation:

Peel mangos & cut fruit from pit. In a food processor or blender, puree mangos with lemon juice. Add tea & blend until smooth. Pour in to a glass 9-inch baking dish & freeze about three hours.

Merge water & tea leaves in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat & let steep five minutes. Strain, discarding the leaves. (Do not press leaves to extract liquid, this makes the liquid bitter.) Return tea to neat saucepan, add sugar & bring to a boil. Boil until sugar dissolves, about one minute. Remove from heat & cold about 30 minutes.

Transfer mango mixture to a food processor. Pulse until smooth, 30 to 40 seconds. Serve directly or store in the freezer for up to two months. Soften ten minutes before serving.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
