SUMMER= LEMON SORBET



Ingredients

  • 1 lemon's peel, finely diced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup carbonated mineral water
  • 6 strips of lemon zest, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, stir together the diced lemon peel, 1 cup of water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool.
  2. In a pitcher or bowl, stir together the lemon syrup with peel, lemon juice and mineral water. Pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Garnish each serving with a twist of lemon peel.
  3. If you do not have an ice cream maker, you may freeze it in a tall canister. Freeze for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and stir with a whisk. Return to the freezer and stir about once every hour for about 4 hours. The more times you stir, the more air will be incorporated, resulting in a lighter finished product.

Summer has officially hit Cali and theres nothing I want more then some homemade lemon sorbet.
It is just so refreshing, tangy and yummy I can not wait to try out this recipe.
I know the cook time is a little long but the prep time is short and if you prepped it
on a friday night you would have all that deliciousness over the entire glorious weekend...
if it could last that long :). Plus how cute is it to serve the sorbet inside of a hollowed out lemon!

What are you summer musts for treats? Let me know if any of your decide to try this recipe
or any other ones!

ENJOY!
