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.

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

Add the maple syrup and lemon juice to the sugar solution and mix until well combined.

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!
