Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup limoncello
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once cooled, stir in the fresh lemon juice and limoncello until well combined. If you’re adding mint for extra freshness, gently muddle a few leaves in the mixture before straining.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or a loaf pan. Cover and place it in the freezer.
- Every 30 minutes, take a fork and scrape the mixture to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process for about 3-4 hours, or until the sorbet is fully frozen and has a fluffy texture.
- When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier scooping. Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
This Limoncello Lemon Sorbet is not only simple to prepare but also a delightful way to end a meal or enjoy on a hot day. Bright and refreshing, it captures the essence of summer in every bite. Enjoy your culinary creation!
