This refreshing lemon-mint sorbet is a simple frozen treat made from lemon or lime juice, fresh mint, sugar, and maple syrup, though it might not be suitable for all patients.

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)
  • A bunch of fresh mint leaves
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Mint:

    Separate the mint leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely (discard the stems).

  2. Dissolve Sugar:

    Mix the sugar with a very small amount of boiling water (about 2 tablespoons) until dissolved.

  3. Combine Ingredients:

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

  4. Freeze:

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

  5. Blend:

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

  6. Serve:

    Enjoy your refreshing lemon-mint sorbet!

Note: This recipe might not be suitable for all patients.
