Mango-Green Tea Sorbet - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
Peel mangoes and cut fruit from pit. In a food processor or blender, puree mangoes with lemon juice.
Add tea and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass 9-inch baking dish and freeze about 3 hours.
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.
