Sorbet Preparation

1

Make the Lemon Sorbet

In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, add the lemon juice and lemon zest, and mix well. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a sorbet consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours.

Assemble the Coupe Caporal
