Time 3h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

Steps:

  • 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.
