Lemon Sorbet

This may sound crass, but I have yet to find a lemon sorbet from the grocery store whose flavor doesn’t remind me of cleaning fluid. Luckily, lemon sorbet is an easy dessert to make at home, and it’s so worth it. You don’t even need an ice cream maker to get good results.

Lemon sorbet is the classic so let’s get you going with that one and then I double-dog dare you to make your own recipes with this basic formula.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups (590 grams) cold water, divided
• 14 tablespoons (175 grams) granulated sugar
• Finely grated zest and juice from about 6 lemons
