Grapefruit Sorbet
Grapefruit sorbet is a modern take on classic Italian sorbets, originally made in the Mediterranean region. The bittersweet grapefruit provides a perfect base for this refreshing, light summer dessert. Even the ancient Romans created similar icy sweets using snow and honey. In today's version, the citrusy flavor is subtly balanced by the sugar syrup, resulting in a perfectly balanced, cooling sorbet. Imagine a spoonful of grapefruit sorbet melting in your mouth, refreshing and invigorating with every bite!

Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.
2
Zest the grapefruit and then juice it. Strain the juice to remove any seeds and pulp.
3
Allow the sugar syrup to cool to room temperature, then stir in the grapefruit juice and zest.
4
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.
5
Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create an icy, crystalline texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until completely frozen.
6
Before serving, let the sorbet stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to make it easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
