Black Cat 13 'formula 3" Sorbet (Energy)

Submitted by BlackCat 13 Chef

"Many of our regular customers asked for a "pick-me-up" for either a mid-day lift or prior to their workout. We designed the sorbet as a base for an ultra-healthy smoothie. We selected natural ingredients that posses innate energizing and stimulating properties. On its own, mixed with fruit (apples!) or nutriceuticals this sorbet will have you feeling peppy in a flash. It has a subtle but tasty essence from the cinnamon. The combination of ingredients IS different, but has become a favorite! (The combination of cinnamon and honey as curative is legendary)"

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 20 scoops sorbet
• Serves: 20

ingredients

• 350 g tamarind paste
• 1 liter fresh water
• 100 g sugar
• 200 g lemongrass
• 2 tablespoons green tea
• 3 cups liquid honey
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon

directions

1. Boil tamarind paste with the water. Stir in the sugar and the honey. Mince the lemongrass. Grind the tea into a very fine powder. Chop asparagus into small pieces, (don't use the last two inches). Pour all items into a blender and blend until "smoothish". Pour into an ice-cream machine and blend until slushy. Put in plastic container; cover; freeze overnight or 5 hours. Don't let the "bizarre" list of ingredients scare you -- although it IS different, many people have said they truly love the taste, texture and the fact that it's healthy. Of course, omit sugar as desired, for a "tarter" taste.
