Black Spoom

A spoom is a sorbet with added egg whites, and black spoom is a sorbet made with black tea. The tea should be infused; do not boil or the fine flavour is lost and it becomes bitter.

Try your own mixtures of teas. You can use Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Lapsang Souchong or green China tea. You could also try herb, fruit or flower teas, such as hawthorn blossom, elderflower, woodruff blossom, rosehip, fresh mint or fresh lemon mint.
