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.
Zest the lemon, then juice it. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.
Allow the sugar syrup to cool to room temperature, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.
Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create an icy, crystalline texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until completely frozen.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
