- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- Zest of 1 orange (for added flavor, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Juice the Oranges: Squeeze the juice from the oranges until you have about 1 cup. Strain it to remove any seeds or pulp if desired.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the orange juice, cooled syrup, lemon juice, and orange zest. Stir well until combined.
- Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals until the sorbet is fully frozen and fluffy, about 3-4 hours.
