Sorbet Ingredients

Method

Sorbet Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Basil Infusion

    In a small saucepan, combine the water and fresh basil leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make Raspberry Puree

    In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and sugar. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix the raspberry puree with the lemon juice and the basil-infused water. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

  5. 5

    Freeze the Sorbet

    Transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
