Lemon & Mint Sorbet

By Katrina Lander

Refreshing, zingy and sweet, the perfect summer sorbet which contains only 4 ingredients.

I recommend serving it by itself, in a cone, or in between courses as a palate cleanser (a great way to impress your guests at a dinner party).

• It’s important to stir your sorbet every half hour to break up the ice crystals.
