Ingredients
- 4 large Fresh lemons
- 2 large Fresh oranges
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters Water
- 60 milliliters Vodka
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Zest 2 lemons and 1 orange, ensuring to avoid the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside.
Step 2
Juice all 4 lemons and 2 oranges. You should have approximately 240 milliliters of juice. Strain the juice to remove any pulp or seeds, if desired.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Step 4
Once the simple syrup has cooled, mix it with the citrus juice and zest in a large bowl. Add the vodka and stir well to combine.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer and allow it to chill for 1 hour.
Step 6
After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape the edges of the mixture and stir, breaking up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until the mixture reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency.
Step 7
When ready to serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, vodka-infused citrus sorbet!
