Best Lemon Mint Sorbet Recipes

LIMONCELLO LEMON SORBET (WITH OR WITHOUT MINT)

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup water, sugar, and fresh mint leaves in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a light boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon zest. Let syrup cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Mix remaining 1 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, and limoncello liqueur into syrup.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker; churn according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 15 minutes. Freeze until firm, about 6 hours.

LEMON-MINT SORBET

Steps:

• Bring the sugar, water, mint, and lemon balm to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Strain into a heatproof container. Stir in the muscat wine. Refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.
• Stir in the lemon juice; pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart plastic container with a lid; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

LEMON AND MINT SORBET

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the sugar and 3 ½ cups of the water together until the sugar has dissolved, making a light syrup, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. In a bowl, mix the syrup with the lemon juice and the remaining 2 cups of water. Fold in the beaten egg white. Put the mixture into an ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions. (If you don't have an ice cream machine, you can put the bowl in the freezer and stir the mixture occasionally until it gains the consistency of sorbet.) Serve garnished with mint leaves. Note: To make enough for 24, prepare the recipe twice; you'll need to work in batches like this because most ice cream machines aren't big enough to hold 24 servings.
