Sorbet Ingredients
Method
Sorbet Preparation
Prepare the Basil Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the basil leaves and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
Blend the Strawberries
In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Combine the Mixtures
Strain the basil syrup to remove the leaves and mix it with the strawberry puree. Add the vanilla vodka and stir until well combined.
Freeze the Sorbet
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for about 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
Serve
Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop into bowls and enjoy!
