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:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon/lime juice (I like to add some pulp for texture)

- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions:
-
Prepare Mint:
Separate the mint leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely (discard the stems).
-
Dissolve Sugar:
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.
-
Freeze:
Pour the mixture into a container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours.
-
Blend:
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!
Note: This recipe might not be suitable for all patients.
