Creating your own Lemon Sorbet is easier than you might think! Just follow these simple steps to whip up this delicious, icy treat:

1. Prepare Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemons to obtain 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
2. Zest the Lemons: Use a microplane or grater to obtain zest from the lemons. Set aside.
3. Make Simple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 cups of water over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves completely, then bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat.
4. Combine Ingredients: Once the syrup is cooled slightly, stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until combined.
5. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to cool it completely.
6. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or an ice cream maker if available. If using a shallow dish, place it in the freezer.
7. Stir: If using a shallow dish, stir the sorbet every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure a smooth texture.
8. Freeze Until Firm: Continue freezing until the sorbet is fully set and firm, approximately 4 hours.
9. Serve or Store: Once ready, scoop and serve your Lemon Sorbet immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the freezer for later.

Following these steps will guarantee a delicious result that you can enjoy.
