Combine the health benefits of green tea with the exotic sweetness of mangos and you have a tasty Weight Watchers recipe that everyone will love. No ice cream machine necessary, but you will need a food processor or heavy-duty blender.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup loose green tea leaves
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 ripe mangoes
- 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 mangos and cut fruit from pit. In a food processor or blender, puree mangos 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.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
