Weight Loss Recipes : Citrus, Ginger and Green Tea Sorbet

(makes 6 servings)

Ingredients:2 tbsp fresh ginger, chopped


¾ cup water


1 green tea bag


1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice


½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice


½ cup water


¼ cup honey


Snipped fresh mint for garnish (optional)


Preparation:Add the ginger and water in a small-sized saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat then turn off. Add tea bag and allow to steep for 2-3 minutes. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the liquid into a freezer-safe medium-sized bowl (non-metallic) and discard the solids. Let cool for 30 minutes.


Stir in the orange and lemon juices, water and honey and mix thoroughly. Cover and freeze for about 3-4 hours.
Using a wooden spoon, break the semi-solid mixture into chunks. Pour the mixture into a medium-sized mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour back mixture into freezer bowl, cover and chill for 2 hours before serving.


Use an ice-cream scoop to serve the sorbet topped with fresh mint.
