步骤说明
- 1
Make the simple syrup: Combine 1 cup Water and 1 cup Granulated Sugar in a Saucepan over ^[medium heat]. Stir until the Sugar is completely dissolved, about 3–4 minutes. Do not let it boil vigorously — just a gentle simmer is enough. Remove from heat.
- 2
Add the Lemon Zest to the hot syrup, stir, and let it steep for 10 minutes. This infuses the syrup with bright, aromatic lemon oil from the Zest.
- 3
Strain the syrup through a Sieve into a Mixing Bowl, pressing the Zest to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard the Zest solids.
- 4
Stir in the Fresh Lemon Juice, 1 cup of Cold Water, and a pinch of Kosher Salt. Mix well to combine. Taste — the mixture should be pleasantly tart and a touch sweeter than you'd like the final sorbet, as freezing dulls sweetness slightly.
- 5
Chill the lemon base in the refrigerator until completely cold, at least 1 hour (or up to overnight). A cold base churns faster and produces a smoother texture.
- 6
If using an ice cream maker: Pour the chilled base into your machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until the sorbet is thick, opaque, and has the consistency of soft-serve.
- 7
Optional — for an extra-smooth, lighter texture: Lightly whisk one Egg White until just foamy (not stiff), then add it to the machine during the last 5 minutes of churning. This adds body and prevents iciness.
- 8
No ice cream maker? Pour the cold base into a shallow freezer-safe dish. Freeze for 45 minutes, then scrape and stir vigorously with a fork, breaking up any ice crystals. Repeat every 30–45 minutes for 3–4 hours until the sorbet is fully frozen and fluffy.
- 9
Transfer the churned sorbet to a freezer-safe Airtight Container, smooth the top, and press a piece of Plastic Wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm and scoopable.
- 10
To serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Serve in chilled bowls or glasses. Garnish with a thin lemon slice or fresh mint if desired.
