Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemon Juice

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

  2. 2

    Make the Simple Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.

  5. 5

    Freeze the Sorbet

    Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Alternatively, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until fully frozen.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop it into serving bowls and enjoy!
