I've never been much of an ice cream person. I've always preferred a refreshing sorbet. This lemon-mint sorbet is my absolute favorite.
Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions:
-
Prepare Mint:
Separate the mint leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely (discard the stems).
-

Mix the sugar with a very small amount of boiling water (about 2 tablespoons) until dissolved.
-
Combine Ingredients:
Add the maple syrup and lemon juice to the sugar solution and mix until well combined.

Pour the mixture into a container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours.
-

After 24 hours, take the frozen mixture out of the freezer and blend it until smooth (I use a Ninja blender).

Enjoy your refreshing lemon-mint sorbet!
