- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper essential oil

Directions
Place the mango into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the lime juice, pepper vodka, black pepper essential oil and the sugar and process for an additional 5 to 10 seconds. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and place in the refrigerator to chill until the mixture reaches 40 degrees or below, approximately 2 to 3 hours.

What an excellent idea! After searching high end grocery stores, and not finding the oil, I decided to double the amount of pepper vodka, and it tasted excellent. I think I'll make a raspberry basil sorbet next!

I enjoyed this wonderful play on black peppers. As for Black pepper oil I used Young living essential oils. They are the most pure and you don't need much.
I only used about 10-14 drops to make this a great sorbet. If you need some contact www.youngliving.us Feel free to use my distrbutor number 46223.
Just remember you don't need as much oil as AB used. I use the oils like lemon, lime, orange, and cinnamon from there in many dishes when I want to keep the presentation of the food clean. Glad AB challenges the norm with dishes like this. Enjoy

I made this without the oil. It was wonderful. Does anyone know where to find the oil? I went to two gourmet grocery stores and Whole Foods and could not find it. I think I would like the stronger flavor of pepper.
