Mint Lemon Sorbet homemade refreshing dessert

Mint Lemon Sorbet

Mint Lemon Sorbet is a classic summer dessert that combines the naturally tart freshness of lemon with the cooling aroma of mint. Lemons have been highly valued since ancient times for their refreshing properties, while mint has long been popular in medicine and cuisine alike. The first sorbets were consumed in ancient Rome, when snow flavored with honey and fruit juice was chilled. In the modern version, the vibrant aroma of lemon and the freshness of mint create a perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of Mint Lemon Sorbet melting in your mouth, cooling and refreshing with every bite!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    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.

    2

    Let the sugar syrup cool completely. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and finely chopped mint leaves.

    3

    Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer.

    4

    Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create an icy, crystalline texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until fully frozen.

    5

    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.
