LEMON SORBET
To a saucepan, add 1 cup (250 mL) water and 1 cup (250 mL) sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring, then remove from heat and allow to cool. Add 1 cup (250 mL) lemon juice and 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon zest. Stir to mix. Pour into an ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions. Alternatively, place mixture in a bowl in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, remove and whisk the mixture, for up to 4 hours. This will bring air into the mix, preventing the liquid from freezing solid, and creating a sorbet consistency. You can also buy lemon sorbet from the grocery store!
