Green Mint Frozen Tea
This is a quick and easy recipe, and it’s a perfect way to start your kids drinking healthy beverages. It only takes about 15 minutes of brewing, and then about of hour of sitting in the freezer.
Formula:
- four cups of hot water
- three bags of green tea
- about a half of cup of fresh mint leaves
- a tablespoon of organic cane sugar
- one cup of wine (optional)
Mix the all the ingredients said above, and put it on the stove. Let boil for about five or ten minutes. Afterwards I like to put mine in the freezer for about forty-five minutes, or until its a slushie. If you have a smoothie maker it will make it alot easier.
I Scream for Green Tea Ice Cream
Who doesn’t like ice cream? I love green tea ice cream, my wife and I make it by the gallon, and send it some to freinds and family.
Formula:
- two cups of skim milk
- about 1/4 cup green tea leaves
- 2/3 cup of organic cane sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy cream
First, you must boil your milk with your green tea leaves. Mix until its a healthy green. Then let it sit in the fridge overnight.
Mix organic cane sugar into egg yolks until its nice and thick. Then mix in your cornstarch.
Put the milk and tea leaves you boiled the night before through a strainer, so that all of the green tea leaves are removed. Then mix with the second mixture above mentioned. Afterward wisk it while on the stove until its a little thick, we don’t want it to boil so keep it on a low flame.
When its good and thick, strain custard and put in a big bowl. Let it cool down, and then mix your cream and stir it in. Then throw it back in the fridge until chilled.
Now, your all ready to put it in your ice cream maker, and you got a nice healthy ice cream treat!
