Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 unit zest of 1 lemon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Hull and slice the strawberries and set aside in a bowl.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar, heating over medium heat until the sugar dissolves (about 3-5 minutes).
Blending
  1. Allow the syrup to cool slightly, then combine it with the strawberries, lemon juice, and zest in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Chilling and Freezing
  1. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  2. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (about 20-30 minutes). If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour into a shallow container and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve the sorbet in bowls or cones, adorned with fresh strawberries or mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Store sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Scoop only what you need to maintain texture. For a creamier texture, consider adding non-dairy cream or coconut milk.
