Instructions
Making Lemon Sorbet is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Juice the Lemons: Squeeze the juice from the lemons until you have about 1 cup. Strain out any seeds.
2. Prepare the Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves, stirring occasionally.
3. Add Lemon Juice and Zest: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until well mixed.
4. Cool the Mixture: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
5. Chill: Once cooled, place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours.
6. Freeze: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
7. Transfer to Container: Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and smooth the top. Seal tightly.
8. Freeze Again: Place the container in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up.
9. Scoop and Serve: When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
