Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Lemon Juice: Squeeze the lemons to obtain 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, and zest one of the lemons for added flavor.
- Make the Simple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove from heat and let it cool.
- Mix Together: Once the simple syrup is cool, stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
- Chill: Pour the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
- Freeze: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour it into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until completely frozen and fluffy.
- Serve: Once the sorbet is firm, scoop it into bowls and enjoy your refreshing Lemon Sorbet!
