Raspberry Iced Tea Sorbet

My Raspberry Iced Tea Sorbet is a refreshing summer treat. My 5 ingredient raspberry sorbet uses unsweetened iced tea as the base, with frozen raspberries, giving it a beautiful color and flavor. The vanilla rounds out this sorbet and the all natural sugar-free sweetener gives it the perfect sweetness to balance the other flavors.

Raspberry iced tea is one of my favorite summer beverages. I remember grabbing one from the refrigerator when picking up bagels to head to the beach for the day during college.

And then when I was getting married I had the crazy idea of making my own wedding cake. I was talked out of that but set of making something to share with the guests at my reception. I settled on making a mixed berry sorbet with a hint of Riesling wine in it to accompany the wedding cake.

Making the sorbet wasn't hard. What was hard was keeping it frozen the day of the wedding. We catered our own wedding in a barn and had friends help set up, serve during the wedding, and clean up. There were coolers packed with ice just to keep my sorbet cold. I don't think I was a bridezilla about anything except my sorbet.

How to make Raspberry Iced Tea Sorbet

I wanted the challenge of making a refreshing low carb sorbet and using tea as the liquid was a natural choice. It pairs well with the flavor of raspberries and unsweetened tea is naturally low carb.

Making sorbet is very easy. You just puree the berries with the other ingredients and pour into an ice cream machine and let that do its magic.

Can I use other berries?

Of course. Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, or a combination will all work in this recipe. The carb count will vary based on the specific type of berries you use

How about flavored tea?

That works too! You can use a lemon tea to contrast with the berries, a berry tea to boost the flavor, or a flavor like vanilla to enhance the overall flavor. Just make sure it is unsweetened and chilled before proceeding with the recipe.

Notes

Notes on Sweeteners: 

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 

 

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

 

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
