HOW TO MAKE TRADITIONAL ITALIAN LEMON SORBET
Italian Lemon Sorbet, or "Sorbetto al Limone", is a non-dairy frozen dessert traditionally served between courses to help "clean your palate". Lemon Sorbet has a unique scent, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days. You can serve it as a drink between courses to help clean your palate or in cups like as a dessert. Sorbet is the dairy-free version of Italian Gelato, just as creamy but lighter and less caloric. The lack of ingredients of animal origin (such as milk, heavy cream and eggs) together with the generous dose of fruit, make the sorbet one of the lightest and most refreshing desserts ever.

Steps:
- Let's start preparing the lemons. Wash them very carefully then dry them. With the help of a peeler, remove the lemon peel, being careful NOT to remove the white, bitter part.
- Cut the lemons in half and squeeze them to collect the juice. If you have a juice extractor you can use it to have a more concentrated, tasty and slag-free juice.
- Place water, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Turn off the fire and let it cool.
- If necessary filter the lemon juice with a colander then add the syrup without the lemon zest. Mix really well.
- Pour the mixture into a blender and blend everything for about 3 minutes. In this way the mixture will incorporate more air and the sorbet will be creamier.
- If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and start it. It will take about 40 minutes, depending on the model. After the necessary time, your creamy Italian Lemon Sorbet is ready!
- Pour the blended mixture into the previously frozen stainless steel container. Place in the freezer for about 4 hours. Every 30 minutes you have to break the frozen surface. So remove the sorbet from the freezer and mix using a hand whisk or a low speed electric whisk.

Steps:
- Combine the water and 2 cups of the sugar in a small saucepot. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the sugar is just dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Set a strainer over a 2-cup liquid measure.
- Cut off the top quarter of 8 lemons, then cut a very thin slice from the bottom to make a flat base. Squeeze the juice from the lemon tops into the liquid measure; discard the tops and bottoms.
- Stand up a cut lemon and, using a paring knife, cut around the inner edge of the peel, so you cut the flesh away from the peel. Switch to a spoon and use the incision as a guide to scoop out all the flesh from the inside of the lemon, leaving behind a lemon "cup." Place the flesh in the strainer over the liquid measure and squeeze out all the juice. Repeat with the other 7 lemons. Freeze the lemon cups until ready to serve.
- Zest and juice the remaining 4 lemons; reserve 1 tablespoon zest for the topping. You'll need 2 cups of fresh lemon juice in all; if you have any excess, store it in the fridge or freezer for future use.
- Mix together the cooled simple syrup and the 2 cups lemon juice. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions. Remove the sorbet to an airtight container and hold in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.
- On a small plate, mix together the reserved lemon zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Spread the mixture in an even layer and set aside for at least 30 minutes to dry out slightly.
- When ready to serve, scoop the sorbet into the frozen lemon cups and top with sugared lemon zest. Serve immediately.
