Ingredients
- Meyer lemons
- 4-6, juiced and zested
- Granulated sugar
- 1 cup
- Water
- 1 cup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice along with the zest to ensure a well-combined mixture.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Transfer the churned sorbet to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
- For serving, scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses, and consider garnishing with a twist of Meyer lemon zest or a sprig of mint for an extra touch.
Tips
- For a more complex flavor, consider adding a splash of limoncello or a few fresh basil leaves during the blending process.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
