Lemonade Iced Tea Sorbet.
July 14, 2008 in frozen goodies
My mom was nice enough to buy me an ice cream maker a few weeks ago. I had bought her the same one back at Christmas and she loved it so much that she thought I should have one too. I can’t even tell you how excited I was to get it. I’ve been pulling ice cream recipes out of magazines for months hoping that I would get one eventually.
I came home that night, washed everything out, cranked the freezer up as high as it would go, and hoped that inner piece would freeze quickly. I ended up staying awake most of the night waiting for my first batch of sorbet but it was so worth it. I just wish I would’ve remembered to turn the freezer back down. The container my sorbet went into eventually cracked. Poo.
The Lemonade Iced Tea Sorbet was lovely though. Being from Alabama, I’m a sweet tea kind of girl. No lemon, please. But I really enjoyed this sorbet. It was tart but still sweet. It’s definitely a keeper, even if the husband refused to even try it.
- 2 cups boiling water
- 4 regular-sized English Breakfast tea bags
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
- 1 cup ice water
- Combine 2 cups boiling water and tea bags in a large bowl; steep 5 minutes. Discard tea bags. Add sugar to tea mixture, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cool completely. Stir in juice and 1 cup ice water; chill 1 hour.
- Pour tea mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. Spoon sorbet into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze 1 hour or until firm.

I love lemonade and iced tea… I’m sure this tastes great! Thanks for sharing – looks like a great easy recipe :)
This looks so appealing to me. I’m a southerner as well and love iced tea. Unfortunately, lifes circumstances has forced me to make mine with Splenda, but it’s still pretty good. The sorbet looks lovely.
Hey, thats a really good idea! Looks great!
This sounds soooo delicious. Can’t wait to try it!
