Lemon and mint sorbet
This tastes just as you would imagine: light and tangy, with the lingering flavour of mint.

Ingredients

  • 220 gm (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp coarsely chopped mint leaves, plus extra leaves to serve
  • 1 lemon, finely grated rind only, plus extra lemons to serve (optional)
  • ½ tbsp liquid glucose
  • 75 ml lemon juice

Method

Main
  • 1
    Combine sugar, mint, lemon rind and 125ml water in a saucepan, stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Stir through glucose then lemon juice and strain (discard solids). Freeze in an ice-cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions. Serve scoops of sorbet in hollowed-out lemons, if desired, and garnish with extra mint leaves.
