Ingredients
- 2 cups Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 Lemon (zest)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. (This will create a simple syrup.)

- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest (if using).
- Stir well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, or until the sorbet reaches a smooth and slushy consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Enjoy!
