Sorbet Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemons

    Cut the tops off the lemons and scoop out the insides using a small spoon, creating lemon cups. Set aside the lemon flesh for another use, if desired.

  2. 2

    Make the Lemon Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

  3. 3

    Juicing the Lemons

    Juice the scooped lemons until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds and pulp.

  4. 4

    Combine and Freeze

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sugar syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and pour the mixture into a shallow dish. Place in the freezer.

  5. 5

    Scrape to Fluff

    After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape the mixture to create a fluffy texture. Return to the freezer and repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes until the sorbet is fully frozen and has a light, fluffy texture (approximately 3-4 hours total).

  6. 6

    Serve

    Scoop the lemon sorbet into the prepared lemon cups and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing lemon sorbet!
