Blueberry Sorbet
Blueberry sorbet is a classic fruity dessert that follows the traditions of Italian cuisine. The naturally sweet and slightly tart flavor of blueberries perfectly complements the freshness of lemon and the smoothness of sugar syrup. The first sorbets were consumed in ancient Rome, when snow mixed with honey and fruit juice was cooled. In the modern version, the intense color and refreshing taste of blueberries result in a light, summery dessert. Imagine a spoonful of blueberry sorbet melting in your mouth, cooling and uplifting with every bite!

Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the blueberries, then purée them in a blender until completely smooth.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take about 5 minutes.
3
Allow the sugar syrup to cool completely, then stir in the blueberry purée and lemon juice.
4
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any blueberry skin fragments, then pour it into a shallow dish.
5
Place the dish in the freezer, and every 30 minutes, scrape the mixture with a fork to create a light and icy texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times, until the sorbet is completely frozen.
6
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make it easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few fresh blueberries.
