Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Add sugar to water and heat it up. Boil till sugar completely dissolves. Switch off and let it cool down.
  • Meanwhile squeeze lemon to extract juice from it. Discard the seeds.
  • Zest a lemon and set aside. Now lemon juice and zest are ready.
  • Once sugar water is completely cooled add lemon juice and lemon zest, give a quick stir.
  • Transfer to freezer safe bowl and freeze it.
  • After 2-3 hours once it starts to freeze, transfer to a mixer and blend it.
  • Do this every 2 hours to get a smooth mixture. The more you blend the more creamier your sorbet will be.
  • Keep blending every one hour for at least 5 times. Then freeze it overnight and scoop out the next day.
  • First it will be hard crystal like to break once you start scooping it will scoop out smoothly.
  • Serve Lemon Sorbet chilled.

Notes

  • If you want a stronger flavour then add more lemon zest. But I would recommend adding less as we are blending the mixture often, with more lemon zest it might give a slightly bitter taste.
  • I added 1/2 cup water instead of 1/3 cup.
  • I used 6 small sized lemons to extract 1/3 cup of lemon juice. It depends on the size of lemons.
  • Blending gives a  smooth texture. The first few times when you grind it will still be transparent and runny, after blending for few more times, it will give a snowy white soft texture.
  • The more you blend the more creamier your sorbet will turn.
  • Freeze the serving bowl for at least 30mins so that after the sorbet is scooped into it, it will not melt quickly.
  • Sorbet is actually not silky smooth like ice cream or froyo but smooth.
  • Alternatively, churn the mixture in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Serve with a dash of lemon zest.
  • I used my ice cream scooper to scoop out and it was very easy.
  • Stays good even for 2 weeks or even more if frozen. But I bet it wouldn’t last that long. 🙂
