Lemon Sorbet

Lemon sorbet is one of the oldest ice cream-like desserts, known even in ancient Rome.

In the modern version, the combination of sugar syrup and fresh lemon juice creates a perfect balance between sweet and tangy flavors. Imagine a hot summer day when a spoonful of cold lemon sorbet melts in your mouth – a true refreshment in 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 will take about 5 minutes.

    2

    Zest the lemon, then juice it. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.

    3

    Allow the sugar syrup to cool to room temperature, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon 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 sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
