Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the 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.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
For a smoother texture, strain the lemon juice to remove pulp and seeds.
Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks; cover surface with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
Garnish with fresh mint or lemon slices for a pretty presentation.
