Refreshing Lemon-Mint Sorbet

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.
