Lemon Rosemary Sorbet image

this sorbet is so easy to make and a great treat for a hot summer day! The vodka (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Vodka is excellent to use because it doesn't affect the taste. You have got to try it!!!!

Time 3h25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 1/3 cups fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons vodka

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add rosemary, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes or until cool.
  • Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and pour syrup mixture through (straining out the rosemary leaves). Add lemon juice and vodka to the strained syrup mixture; stir until thoroughly blended.
