Tips

• For a mint Bellini sorbet, use 6 Bellini Peach Orange Tea tea bags and 2 Pure Peppermint Tea tea bags.
• As an alternative to using a metal baking pan to store the sorbet, you can also pour the mixture into a standard ice cube tray which produces easy to handle frozen cubes for puréeing.
• Can be prepared and stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.
