Mediterranean Orange Sorbet
Mediterranean orange sorbet is a true summer classic, celebrating the freshness of the sweet and juicy oranges of the Mediterranean region. The cultivation of oranges has been an important part of Mediterranean culture for centuries, especially in Italy, Spain and Greece. The history of sorbets dates back to ancient Rome, when snow flavored with honey and fruit juice was consumed as a refreshing treat. In the modern version, the natural sweetness of orange and the slight spiciness of rosemary create a perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of Mediterranean orange sorbet melting in your mouth, refreshing and invigorating with every bite!

Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and grated orange zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2
If desired, add a sprig of fresh rosemary for a more aromatic flavor. Let the mixture steep for 5 minutes, then remove the rosemary sprig.
3
Allow the syrup to cool completely, then stir in the freshly squeezed orange juice.
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, or until completely frozen.
6
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and an orange slice.
