Ingredients
1 cup water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups fresh clementine juice (from about 8-10 clementines)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon clementine zest (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Stir in clementine juice, lemon juice, and clementine zest (if using).
Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer sorbet to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
Tips
For a smoother texture, strain the juice before mixing.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
Serve with fresh clementine segments or mint leaves for garnish.
