Karen’s Mango Sorbet with Ginger & Turmeric
A Creamy & Luscious Sorbet made with five ingredients ~ Fresh Mango, Ginger-Turmeric Tea, Pure Cane Sugar, Fresh Ginger and Lime Juice. Simple to prepare – silky texture!
Tropical mangos making a smooth purée to create a refreshing sorbet treat with sweet fruit intensity.
Using Tea in the recipe: Turmeric adds a nice color and earthy tang; Ginger adds a spicy flavor, and an invigorating aroma ~ both boost the health value of the sorbet.
The Method:
- Cut flesh of the mango away from the pit – purée with in a food processor with the fresh ginger until very smooth
- Make Ginger-Turmeric Tea – when cool, squeeze all the flavor from the tea bags
- Add the tea to a pot with the sugar and lime juice, cook 3 minutes to dissolve the sugar, cool 5 minutes
- Combine the tea and mango purée – place in a bowl – cool in the refrigerator until cold
- Process in an ice cream machine – ENJOY!
- Garnish with berries and mint springs if you like
Turmeric and Ginger have amazing Health Boosting Properties:
There is a growing recognition that ginger and turmeric are powerful natural remedies.
Many ancient civilizations have used them for centuries ~ known for boosting your immunity.
Using the TEA BAGS to infuse flavor is a quick, easy & delicious way to flavor the Sorbet – while adding health benefits.
Turmeric and ginger belong to the rhizome family.
The antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties of turmeric and ginger help manage seasonal cough, cold, and congestion too!
Ripeness of the Mango is IMPORTANT:
Too ripe it will be grainy, stringy and mushy.
PICK ONE that has a nice reddish tint to it, is heavy for its size and when gently squeezed, should give slightly to pressure… not too hard!
Trader Joe’s Organic Ginger Turmeric Herbal Tea Ingredients: (I use 4 tea bags for the sorbet)
- ORGANIC GINGER ROOT
- ORGANIC TURMERIC
- ORGANIC LICORICE
- ORGANIC ORANGE PEEL
- ORGANIC ORANGE OIL
- ORGANIC BLACK PEPPER
A Creamy Sorbet:
Without fat from dairy or eggs, it’s the suspension of sugar within the fruit purée that allows the sorbet to churn into something with a creamy mouthfeel.
Enjoy this delicious fruit sorbet.
