Ingredients
– 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 cups water
– Lemon zest (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Lemon Sorbet:
1. Prepare the lemons: Squeeze the lemons to extract 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Zest one or two lemons if you enjoy a more intense lemon flavor.
2. Create the syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar is fully dissolved. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Combine ingredients: Remove the syrup from heat and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, mixing well.
4. Chill the mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 1 hour. This ensures a smoother texture when freezing.
5. Freeze the sorbet: Once chilled, pour the lemon mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
6. Transfer and freeze: Spoon the sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
7. Serve and enjoy: For the best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls and enjoy!
