Tea Sorbet

There should be some sort of law against nature when it is 95 degrees at almost 6:30 in the evening.
Seeing as there is not, I will give one of my favorite sorbet recipes.
This one has green tea as its base, but you could add to it, such as raspberries or blackberries.

Green Tea Sorbet
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of green tea leaves
2 cups of sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
You could as I said add 2 cups of berries that has been pureed and strained.
Combine the water and tea leaves in medium pot and bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Steep the tea for about 5 minutes.
Strain and toss the leaves into your recycler or potting soil.
Return the tea to the heat and stir in the sugar. Bring to a boil until sugar dissolves.
When sugar is completely dissolved remove from the heat and refridgerate until cool.
When cooled, you can then add your pureed and strained berries and add the lemon juice.
Pour into a freezer bowl of a 1 1/2 quart ice cream freezer and freeze according to directions.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container if the freezer bowl in your machine isn't a container also. Freeze the mixture for 4 hours or until firm.
Serve this sorbet in martini glasses for fun. I make the sorbet with just the green tea and then after freezing and serving into individual dishes, I squirt some raspberry couli over the green tea sorbet.
Serve on a plate that has a few berries and mint leaves around the base of the martini glass.

Brightest tea blessings!
