Mango and Green Tea Sorbet

Source of Recipe


From "Weight Watchers Take Out Tonight!"






List of Ingredients



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






Instructions



1. Combine water and tea leaves in a saucepan. Bring just to a boil, remove from heat, and let steep 5 minutes. Strain, discarding the leaves. (Do not press leaves to extract liquid; this makes the liquid bitter.) Return tea to clean saucepan, add sugar, and bring to a boil. Boil until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool about 30 minutes.
   
   
2. Peel mangoes and cut fruit from pit. In a food processor or blender, purée mangoes with lemon juice. Add tea and blend until smooth. Pour into a 9-inch glass baking dish and freeze about 3 hours.
   
   
3. Transfer mango mixture to a food processor. Pulse until smooth, 30 to 40 seconds. Serve at once, or store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Soften 10 minutes before serving.
   
   Makes 6 to 8 servings.
