1
Juicing the Lemons
Start by juicing the fresh lemons until you have 4 cups of lemon juice. You can use a manual juicer or an electric juicer for this step.
2
Making the Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3
Combining Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, the cooled simple syrup, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4
Churning the Sorbet
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
5
Freezing the Sorbet
Transfer the churned sorbet to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours to firm up.
6
Serving
Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing lemon sorbet!
