Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- 550ml water
- 420ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon zest
Preparation
- Combine the sugar and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium- high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer without stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 3 to 5 minutes. Cool completely. This is called a simple syrup, and may be made ahead in larger quantities to have on hand for making Fresh Lemon Sorbet. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
- When cool, add the lemon juice and zest; stir to combine. Turn the machine on. Pour the lemon mixture into the freezer bowl, and mix until the mixture thickens, about 25 to 30 minutes. The sorbet will have a soft texture similar to a freshly scooped Italian ice.
