Lemon Sorbet

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sugar syrup to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Once cooled, stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.

4. 4

   Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.

5. 5

   Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork, scraping the frozen edges into the center. Repeat this process until the sorbet is fully frozen and has a smooth, icy texture. This should take about 3-4 hours.

6. 6

   Once the sorbet is ready, serve it immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer until ready to serve.
