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.
