Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh grapefruit juice (from about 3 large grapefruits)
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grapefruit zest (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Stir in grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and grapefruit zest (if using) into the cooled syrup.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork until firm, about 3-4 hours.
Tips
- For a smoother texture, strain the grapefruit juice before mixing.
- Serve with fresh mint leaves or a slice of grapefruit.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
