Epazote Sherbet

Epazote is strong enough to power through a frozen application. It adds a flavor dimension that has no equal. Once you try it, you'll be addicted.

Aside from the flavor depth that shines through, it's the seed texture that drives. I love the micro-bursts and did my best to get as much into the base as possible.

The Needs

• (2) 6" lengths of epazote cut from the top of a full plant 
• Basic sherbet recipe and ingredients (I'm pretty sure it'll work with just about any fruit. Here's AB's recipe.)
• Blender 
• Coarse mesh strainer, standard should work, so epazote seeds will pass through

Infuse the Juice

• Pull the epazote apart over the blender pitcher into short strands and drop them in
• Pour the recipe required liquid juice over the epazote (If needed, add a portion of the milk.)
• Blend on high until the epazote is fully incorporated/tiny bits
• Strain the juice into a medium sized bowl
• Use the back of a spoon to stir and smash the remaining epazote seeds through the strainer
• Scrape the back of the strainer to get the stuck seeds into the juice 
• Follow the recipe with the epazote mixture in place of the juice
