- 1 large Armenian cucumber
- 1 large apple
- 2 cups evaporated cane juice or raw sugar
- A pinch of salt

Instructions
- Begin by slicing the cucumber and apple into sizes appropriate for your juicer.
- Juice the cucumber and apple to yield about 2 cups of juice.
- Combine the cucumber-apple juice with the chilled white tea, evaporated cane juice, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill completely, about 1-2 hours.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 5 hours or until firm.
- Serve the sorbet as a refreshing dessert or blend with additional tea for a cool drink.
Notes
For a more intense flavor, use a stronger brewed tea. The sorbet can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
