In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and lemon zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Let the sugar syrup cool completely. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and finely chopped mint leaves.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place 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 fully frozen.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice.
