Citrus Sorbet

Store in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, allow to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

For a smoother sorbet, add a tablespoon of corn syrup or a shot of vodka to your base mixture before freezing. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming.

Taste your base mixture before freezing! Adjust sweetness and tartness as needed, as flavors can become muted when frozen.

If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow container and scrape it with a fork every 30-60 minutes until frozen.

Fresh berries

Mint leaves

A drizzle of honey or agave

Sparkling wine or prosecco

Shortbread cookies

Making the mixture too watery: ensure your citrus juice is concentrated or reduce it slightly before adding sugar.

Freezing without churning: this often results in a hard, icy block rather than a smooth sorbet.
